Tityridae
Tityridae is family of suboscine passerine birds found in forest and woodland in the Neotropics. The 45 species in this family were formerly spread over the families Tyrannidae, Pipridae and Cotingidae (''see Taxonomy (biology), Taxonomy''). As yet, no widely accepted common name exists for the family, although tityras and allies and tityras, mourners and allies have been used. They are small to medium-sized birds. Under current classification, the family ranges in size from the buff-throated purpletuft, at and , to the masked tityra, at up to and . Most have relatively short tails and large heads. Taxonomy and systematics The family Tityridae (as the subfamily Tityrinae) containing the genera ''Tityra'' and ''Pachyramphus'' was introduced by the English zoologist George Robert Gray in 1840. Traditionally, the genus ''Laniocera'' was included in the family Tyrannidae, the genera ''Iodopleura'', ''Laniisoma'', ''Tityra'', ''Pachyramphus'' and ''Xenopsaris'' were included in the ...
