  Euphoniinae to Fringillidae
This proposal would move them to Fringillidae, as a subfamily (and therefore also force recognition of subfamily Carduelinae for the fringillids in South America).
Since that paper is based on just mitochondrial DNA, it certainly is not the last word, but it does suggest that Euphonia and Chlorophonia belong within Fringillidae proper.
Another problem is that based on Yuri and Mindell, Euphonia and Chlorophonia could cluster within Fringillidae, in which case we'd have to do away with Euphoniinae.

 Fringillid page
Some (e.g., Sibley and Monroe 1990) create a greatly expanded Fringillidae that include all the birds on this page, plus tanagers, Hawaiian honeycreepers, Galapagos finches, and cardueline finches like grosbeaks and cardinals.
Both of these series use "field guide" style poses for the artwork, but the Oxford series excels in behavioral information and in having the leading experts on a family author the books (thus the reader has the latest research).
This is, however, a solid contribution that covers not only the Fringillidae, but the Estrillidae (waxbills and allies) and the Passeridae (Old World sparrows).

 [No title]
Perkins (07) was the first to point out that the drepanids are divisible into two distinct groups, the group "chlorodrepanine," or green section, or subfamily Psittirostrinae (which included the nukupu'u), and the group "melanodrepanine," or subfamily Drepaniinae, which had some fl plumage.
Pratt places the Hawaiian honeycreepers in the Family Fringillidae, Subfamily Drepanidinae; the nukupu'u (Hemignathus lucidus) in the Tribe Hemignathini, Genus Hemignathus (akialoas, nukupu'us, and amakihis), Subgenus Heterorhynchus; acknowledging: Hemignathus lucidus lucidus Lichtenstein 1839 (extinct); Hemignathus lucidus hanapepe Wilson 1889, and Hemignathus lucidus affinus Rothschild 1893.
The 1983 AOU Checklist (09) accepted the revision of the Family Fringillidae to include the Subfamily Drepanidinae (Hawaiian honeycreepers-formerly Family Drepanididae), which is divided into the Tribe Psittirostrini (Hawaiian finches), the Tribe Hemignathini (Hawaiian creepers and allies, including nukupu'u (Hemignathus lucidus)), and the Tribe Drepanidini (Mamos, iiwis and allies).

 SDNHM Focus on American, Lawrence's, and Lesser Goldfinches
Especially in winter, when the American changes into a nonbreeding plumage, the less common species can be overlooked, so this is a good season to address this trio.
The goldfinches are members of the family Fringillidae, a group with several interesting distinctions.
Among these are a tendency to engage in irregular dispersal rather than regular migration, an entirely vegetarian diet, and failure to remove chicks' feces from the nest--used finch nests are easily identified by their dropping-encrusted rims.

 BirdForum - Creating Lists in Posts
You can add un-listed headings, like showing the various families (which you'd not wish to actually include in the count), but there's a glitch.
Notice that it handles the second heading, in this case "Fringillidae", just fine.
I'll play around and see if I can find a better way of doing things.
