 Helmet-Shrike page
The Helmet-Shrikes are a small group of mostly African birds, although apparently an ancestral helmet-shrike reached Asia as it is currently thought a few Oriental species are closely related.
The Helmet-shrikes are closely related to Bush-Shrikes (Malaconotidae), Vangas (Vangidae), and the Batises and Wattle-eyes (Platysteiridae).
Indeed, most of the older literature lumps this group with one or more of these families.

 TOE FUSION IN OSCINES
The relatively few taxa with fusion of II and III reaching distally to the vicinity of the articulation of phalanges 1 and 2 of toe III also have high fusion of toes III and IV, e.g., Vangidae, Orthonyx, Microbates, Ramphocaenus, certain muscicapid flycatchers, Hypositta, Certhia, Climacteris, Vireonidae.
Dorst (1960) proposed that the monotypic genera Tylas and Hypositta from Madagascar belong in the family Vangidae, which is endemic to that island.
The high fusion in all these birds is compatible with his suggestion, although high fusion also occurs in other families with which Tylas has often been placed, including bulbuls (Pycnonotidae).
