Picocoraciae is a clade that contains the order Bucerotiformes (hornbills and hoopoes) and the clade Picodynastornithes (containing birds like kingfishers and rollers, and woodpeckers and toucans) supported by various genetic analysis{{cite journal | last1 = Hackett | first1 = S.J. | display-authors = etal | year = 2008 | title = A Phylogenomic Study of Birds Reveals Their Evolutionary History | journal = Science | volume = 320 | issue = 5884| pages = 1763–8 | doi=10.1126/science.1157704 | pmid=18583609| bibcode = 2008Sci...320.1763H | s2cid = 6472805 }}{{cite journal |author=Ericson, P.G. |year=2012 |title=Evolution of terrestrial birds in three continents: biogeography and parallel radiations |journal=Journal of Biogeography |volume=39 |issue=5 |pages=813–824 |doi=10.1111/j.1365-2699.2011.02650.x |bibcode=2012JBiog..39..813E |s2cid=85599747 |url=http://www.nrm.se/download/18.9ff3752132fdaeccb6800037316/1367705204607/Ericson+Gondwana+JBI+2012.pdf }}Naish, D.
