Eurylaimides (Old World suboscines) is a clade of passerine birds that are distributed in tropical regions around the Indian Ocean, as well as an inland African species, Grauer's broadbill, and a single American species, the sapayoa. This group is divided into five families and three superfamilies. The families listed here are those recognised by the International Ornithologists' Union (IOC). Sapayooidea Sapayoidae: broad-billed sapayoa Eurylaimoidea Eurylaimidae: typical broadbills Calyptomenidae: African and green broadbills Pittoidea Pittidae: pittas Philepittidae: asities

Historical classification This clade was previously classified into two superfamilies: Superfamily Eurylaimoidea Philepittidae: asities Eurylaimidae: typical broadbills Calyptomenidae: African and green broadbills Sapayoidae: sapayoa Superfamily Pittoidea Pittidae: pittas
The monotypic Sapayoidae family (consisting only of a single species, the sapayoa) has since been moved into its own superfamily of Sapayooidea. Additionally, Philepittidae (asities) has been moved into the superfamily of Pittoidea along with Pittidae (pittas).
