List of tyrant flycatcher species
The International Ornithological Congress recognizes these 437 species in family Tyrannidae, the tyrant flycatchers; they are distributed among 104 genera. The IOC list includes genus Piprites, which the Clements taxonomy places in family Pipridae and the South American Classification Committee of the American Ornithological Society considers incertae sedis. The list does not include the several species in genera Myiobius, Onychorhynchus, and Terenotriccus which Clements and the SACC do include in Tyrannidae.
The ornithologists Edward Dickinson and Leslie Christidis in the fourth edition of the Howard and Moore Complete Checklist of the Birds of the World split Tyrannidae into five families leaving only 306 species and 79 genera in Tyrannidae. Their family Pipromorphidae contains 17 genera and 101 species.
This list is presented according to the IOC taxonomic sequence and can also be sorted alphabetically by common name and binomial.List
