* in previous years included in Muscicapidae by some authorities as subfamily with -inae extension; Platysteiridae, Rhipiduridae sometimes in Monarchidae; Polioptilidae, Maluridae sometimes in Sylviidae; Paradoxornithidae, Picathartidae

** in previous years (as subfamilies Emberizinae, Drepanidinae, also Thraupinae, Cardinalinae, Catamblyrhynchinae) included in Fringillidae (Emberiza as species sometimes in subfamily Fringillinae) by specific authorities

*** Estrildidae in previous years (as subfamily Estrildinae) included in Ploceidae by specific authorities

**** Jan van Linschoten 1598: they always live in the air and turn towards the sun and they avoid the ground as long as they live because they have no legs and wings (cut off by native hunters)
