Coraciimorphae is a clade of birds that contains the order Coliiformes (mousebirds) and the clade Eucavitaves (a large assemblage of birds that includes woodpeckers, kingfishers and trogons).[1][2][3][4] The name however was coined in the 1990s by Sibley and Ahlquist based on their DNA-DNA hybridization studies conducted in the late 1970s and throughout the 1980s.[5] However their Coraciimorphae only contain Trogoniformes and Coraciiformes.
