EurypygimorphaeorPhaethontimorphaeis acladeof birds that contains the ordersPhaethontiformes(tropicbirds) andEurypygiformes(kaguandsunbittern) recovered by genome analysis.^[2]The relationship was first identified in 2013 based on their nuclear genes.^[3]Historically these birds were placed at different parts of the tree, with tropicbirds inPelecaniformesand the kagu and sunbittern inGruiformes.Some genetic analyses have placed the eurypygimorph taxa in the controversial and obsolete cladeMetaves,with uncertain placement within that group.^[4]^[5]More recent molecular studies support their grouping together in Eurypygimorphae, which is usually recovered as the sister taxon toAequornitheswithinArdeae.^[2]^[6]^[7]
