The superorder Columbimorphae contains the following orders:
Timetree of Columbimorphae, with the distribution of each family being indicated by the colour-code used throughout this website (see Distribution code). The relationships are based on Kuhl et al. (2021). Note, however, that Jarvis et al. (2014), and Prum et al. (2015) placed Cuculidae in different positions.
