Sequence of genera and composition of the family follow Prum (1990a, 1992). Genetic data (Tello et al. 2009, McKay et al. 2010) confirm the monophyly of the Pipridae as constituted above, but also provide evidence that the existing linear sequence of genera conflicts in several ways with phylogenetic data. SACC proposal passed to change linear sequence of genera. Ohlson et al. (2013) proposed recognizing two subfamilies, Neopelminae and Piprinae, and additional tribes within Piprinae. SACC proposal needed; their results also indicate that modifications to the linear sequence of genera are also needed. SACC proposal needed.
