Systematic position

Initially placed among the prionopidés (invalidated family, because Polyphyletic), certain authors brought it closer to the lanidés (family of the magpies-grièches), others, sturnidés .
Une distinct family, the pityriaséidés was created for him-only, but the results of the tests of Hybridation of the DNA showed that Pityriasis was a Artamini (Ahlquist, Sheldon & Sibley 1984).
