The suborder Tyranni (the suboscines) of
passerine
birds include about 1,000 fairly primitive species, the
large majority of which are
South American.
These have a less developed vocal structure than the
songbirds in the suborder Passeri, the oscine
passerines. Mitochondrial DNA studies have confirmed that
the Tyranni and Passeri suborders are genetically distinct.
