  PUFF-BIRD - LoveToKnow Article on PUFF-BIRD   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
As with most South American birds, the habits and natural history of the Bucconidae have been but little studied, and of only one species, which happens to belong to a rather abnormal genus, has the nidification been described.
This is the Cizelidoptera tenebrosa, which is said to breed in holes in banks, and to lay white eggs much like those of the kingfisher and consequently those of the jacamars.
The Bucconidae almost without exception are very plainly-colored, and the majority have a spotted or mottled plumage suggestive of immaturity.

 MONOPHYLY OF THE PICIFORMES: A REPLY TO OLSON
The representative forms il- lustrated are Colaptes auratus (Picidae; Pici), Bucco tamiata (Bucconidae; Galbulae), and Galbula dea (Galbulidae; Galbulae).
Simpson and Cracraft (1981: 491) were very specific in their criticism; none of the taxa of the Primobucconidae is known to have an en- larged sehnenhalter.
This is why Simpson and Cracraft (1981: 491) suggested that one or more taxa currently included in the Primo- bucconidae might be the sister group of the Piciformes.

 Malate Dehydrogenase Isozymes Provide a Phylogenetic Marker for the Piciformes (Woodpeckers and Allies)
The "wood- pecker-like" S-MDH pattern was absent from all six families of Coraciiformes, and from the two repre- sentatives of the Coliiformes (Table 1).
Phylogenetic relationships of the woodpeckers and allies have been the subject of intense debate (Simp- son and Cracraft 1981, Swierczewski and Raikow 1981, Olson 1983, Raikow and Cracraft 1983, Sibley and Ahlquist 1986).
In most traditional taxonomic lists, six families are included in the Piciformes: Galbuli- dae (jacamars), Bucconidae (puffbirds), Capitonidae (barbers), Indicatoridae (honeyguides), Ramphasti- dae (toucans), and Picidae (woodpeckers).

 Volume 9 No. 1
A new genus and species of Bucconidae, Primobucco mcgrewi, is described from Lincoln County, Wyoming, in Lower Eocene beds of the Green River Formation (late Wasatchian age).
This fossil provides the earliest record of the family, and of the order Piciformes, of which the puffbirds are the structurally most primitive group.
Today the Bucconidae are restricted to the American tropics.
