 | | The Vireonidae was formerly placed, based on some morphological studies (e.g., Beecher 1953), in or next to the nine-primaried oscines in linear sequences (e.g., Meyer de Schauensee 1970, Ridgely and Tudor 1989); however, genetic data (e.g., Johnson et al. |
 | | Even retention of these groups as subfamilies (e.g., Blake 1968a) within the Vireonidae is refuted by genetic data (Johnson et al. |
 | | Relationships of genera within the family are not well-resolved, and preliminary genetic data do not provide clear relationships among the genera (Johnson et al. |
