Coraciimorphae is a clade of birds that contains the order Coliiformes (mousebirds) and the clade Cavitaves (a large assemblage of birds that includes woodpeckers, kingfishers and trogons).[2][3][4][5] The name however was coined in the 1990s by Sibley and Ahlquist based on their DNA-DNA hybridization studies conducted in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s.[6] However their Coraciimorphae only contains Trogoniformes and Coraciiformes.

Coraciimorphae è un clade di uccelli che contiene l'ordine Coliiformes (uccelli topo) ed il clade Cavitaves (che contiene picchi, martin pescatori, e trogoni).[1][2][3][4] Il nome tuttavia fu coniato nel 1990 da Sibley e Ahlquist basandosi sui loro studi dell'ibridazione del DNA-DNA, condotti tra il 1970 e il 1980.[5] Tuttavia, il Coraciimorphae di Sibley e Ahlquist conteneva solo Trogoniformes e Coraciiformes.
