The tyranni suborder can be split into three infraorders: Acanthisittides, Eurylaimides, and Tyrannide.

The first group, the Acanthisittidae, are also known as the New Zealand "wrens".
At the moment, scientists are unsure whether they should belong to the tyranni or not.
Some scientists think they are too different and they should be in their own suborder.

The Eurylaimides contains two superfamilies: the Eurylaimoidea and the Pittoidea.
The Euryaimoidea contains three families.
They are also known as the Old World suboscines.
Most of them live in tropical places around the Indian Ocean.
One species, the Broad-billed Sapayoa, lives in the Americas.
The three families are:
Superfamily: Eurylaimoidea
Eurylaimidae: broadbills
Philepittidae: asities
Sapayoidae: Broad-billed Sapayoa
Superfamily: Pittoidea
Pittidae: pittas
The Tyrannides contain all sub-oscine birds from the Americas, except the Broad-billed Sapayoa:
Furnariidae: ovenbirds and woodcreepers
Thamnophilidae: antbirds
Formicariidae: antpittas and antthrushes
Rhinocryptidae: tapaculos
Conopophagidae: gnateaters and gnatpittas
Tyrannidae: tyrant-flycatchers
Tityridae: tityras and allies
Cotingidae: cotingas
Pipridae: manakins
