Ramphastides
# Ramphastides

Ramphastides is an infraorder of the order Piciformes that includes toucans and barbets. Formerly, the barbets have been classified in a single family, the Capitonidae. However, this has turned out to be paraphyletic with regard to toucans, which resulted in the Capitonidae being split into several families.

## Systematics

The Ramphastides contain five extant families. Sometimes, they are treated as the superfamily Ramphastoidea.

* Infraorder Ramphastides
   * Megalaimidae - Asian barbets
   * Lybiidae - African barbets
   * Capitonidae - New World barbets
   * Semnornithidae - toucan-barbets
