This is the placement of jewel-eyed saucebacks relative to various other living sauceback groups: |
|||
{{clade|{{clade|{{clade|Waxfaces|Larvabacks}}|{{clade|2=Loafshells|1={{clade|Shrewbacks|{{clade|Basal Heartheads|'''Jewel-Eyed Saucebacks'''}}}}}}}}}} |
|||
The relations between the different major groups of jewel-eyed saucebacks are as follows: |
|||
{{clade|label1= Basal Forms |{{clade|Argusraptors|label2= Biats |{{clade|Ophreys|Quails}}}}}} |

'''Biats''' or '''saucebirds''' are the flighted clade descended from the [[interbiat]]. Basal biats retain long tails, but some more derived species have shorter tails. |

'''Ophreys''' are advanced fliers with short tails and unidirectional macrolungs. Descended from the [[sausophrey]], they include some of the highest-flying species. |
