Following Peters [2] the families are placed in three suborders; Alcae, Lari and Charadrii.
The Alcae contains a single family, Alcidae (auks, puffins, murrelets and allies), while the Lari is comprised of the Stercorariidae (skuas and jaegers), Laridae (gulls), Sternidae (terns and noddies) and Rynchopidae (skimmers) The largest and most diverse assemblage is the Charadrii comprising the remaining 13 families.
