Passerida are one of four parvorders contained within the infraorder Passerides.

Tyrannides (New World suboscines) is a clade of passerine birds that are endemic to the Americas. The group likely originated in South America during the Eocene, about 45 million years ago.

Eurylaimides (Old World suboscines) is a clade of passerine birds that are distributed in tropical regions around the Indian Ocean 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).
