Suborder Passeri
- Superfamily Corvoidea – a highly diverse group of global distribution, but most plentiful in the Australasian region and surroundings. The oldest truly globally successful group of passerines, they include among them what may well be the most intelligent and the most spectacular of the order.
- Melanocharitidae: berrypeckers and longbills. Tentatively placed here.
- Callaeidae: New Zealand wattlebirds. Tentatively placed here.
- Family N.N.: Stitchbird. Tentatively placed here.
- Cnemophilidae: satinbirds. Tentatively placed here.
- Neosittidae: sittellas
- Vireonidae: vireos
- Campephagidae: cuckoo-shrikes and trillers
- Pachycephalidae: whistlers and allies. Delimitation with regards to several proposed families and subfamilies requires thorough study.
- Oriolidae: orioles and Figbird
- Paramythiidae: Tit Berrypecker and Crested Berrypecker. Formerly in Passerida.
- Artamidae: woodswallows, butcherbirds, currawongs and Australian Magpie
- Malaconotidae: puffback shrikes, bush shrikes, tchagras and boubous
- Platysteiridae: wattle-eyes. Formerly in Passerida. Probably paraphyletic.
- Aegithinidae: ioras
- Pityriaseidae: Bornean Bristlehead. Tentatively placed here.
- Prionopidae: helmetshrikes and woodshrikes
- Vangidae: vangas
- Dicruridae: drongos
- Monarchidae: monarch flycatchers
- Rhipiduridae: fantails
- Paradisaeidae: birds of paradise
- Corcoracidae: White-winged Chough and Apostlebird
- Laniidae: shrikes
- Corvidae: crows, ravens and jays
- Corvoidea incertae sedis
- Vireolanius: shrike-vireos. Usually included in Vireonidae, possibly a monotypic family,Erpornis: White-bellied Erpornis. Formerly in Yuhina (Passerida: Timaliidae); possibly a monotypic family, possibly in VireonidaeColluricinclidae: shrike-thrushes. Often included in Pachycephalidae but perhaps recognizable as a subfamily at least.Cinclosomatidae: whipbirds and allies. Contains Psophodidae but that might make it paraphyletic. At least some species belong in Pachycephalidae if Falcunculinae are not considered a distinct family.Falcunculidae: Shrike-tit and allies. Usually included in Pachycephalidae; might be distinct family or merged in Cinclosomatidae or Psophodidae.”Pitohuidae”: pitohuis. Usually included in Pachycephalidae but seem closer to Oriolidae and best considered a distinct family including Oreoica and possibly other Pachycephalidae sensu lato.Melampitta: melampittas. Two very puzzling birds of unclear systematics; the monophyly of the genus was long disputed. Maybe a basal offshoot of the Monarchidae, maybe a family of their own.
