  Auk, The: Phylogeny and fossil record of the brachypteraciidae: A comment on Kirchman et al. (2001)
On the basis of the results of their study, the authors suggested classification of Brachypteracias squamiger (see Langrand 2001, concerning the nomenclature of the species name) into the genus Geobiastes in which it was originally described.
Fossil members of either the Brachypteraciidae or the Coraciidae are thus unknown from early Tertiary deposits and there is no reason to assume that the Brachypteraciidae evolved outside Madagascar.
Coraciidae and Brachypteraciidae most likely diverged after the early Tertiary period, which is in concordance with the rather low mitochondrial sequence divergence between Brachypteraciidae and Coraciidae reported by Kirchman et al.

 Auk, The: Phylogeny and systematics of ground rollers (Brachypteraciidae) of Madagascar
Unweighted and weighted parsimony and maximum-likelihood analyses consistently recovered monophyly of the family, a sister relationship between Brachypteraciidae and Coraciidae, and monophyly of one of three currently recognized ground roller genera (Atelornis).
Cracraft (1971) examined cranial and postcranial skeletal anatomy in the families Coraciidae (true rollers), Leptosomatidae (Cuckoo Roller [Leptosomus discolor]), and in three species of ground rollers (both species of Atelornis and Brachypteracias leptosomus).
He concluded that the Coraciidae is the sister taxon of ground rollers and that the monotypic Leptosomatidae is the sister of that clade.
