The genera Neopsephotus, Neophema, and Pezoporus are placed in a separate, but closely related tribe, the Pezoporini based on the paper by Joseph et al. (2011){{Cite web|url=http://jboyd.net/Taxo/List12.html#psittaciformes|title=TiF Checklist: BASAL AUSTRALAVES: Cariamiformes, Falconiformes & Psittaciformes}}
