| synonyms = }} Oreoicidae is a newly recognized family of small insectivorous songbirds, the Australo-Papuan bellbirds. The family contains three genera, each containing a single species. The genera are Aleadryas with the rufous-naped bellbird; Ornorectes which contains the piping bellbird; and Oreoica, which contains the crested bellbird. Taxonomy and systematicsThe three species contained in the family have been moved around between different families for fifty years, including the Colluricinclidae (shrike-thrushes), Falcunculidae (shrike-tits) and Pachycephalidae (whistlers). A series of studies of the DNA of Australian birds between 2006 and 2001 found strong support for treating the three genera as a new family, which was formally named in 2016 (although the name had first been proposed by Sibley and Ahlquist in 1985) .[1] Within the passerines the relationship of the Australo-Papuan bellbirds to other bird families has been difficult to establish, at one time they have been thought to be close to a range of families including the cuckoo-shrikes, whistlers, false-whistlers (Rhagologidae), crested berrypeckers, butcherbirds and woodswallows, and Old World orioles.[1] Taxonomic listThree monotypic genera,
DescriptionThe family shares a small number of characteristics. They are small medium to medium sized songbirds with stout bodies, ranging from {{convert|16.5|to(-)|18|cm|in|abbr=on}} in length for the rufous-naped whistler to {{convert|25|to(-)|26|cm|in|abbr=on}} in the crested pitohui.[1][2][3] They also all have semi-erectile crests and shrike-like bills. The plumage is either the same between the sexes (as in the rufous-naped and piping bellbird) or slightly different (as in the crested bellbird).[1][4] Distribution and habitatThe family occupies a range of habitats. Two species, the rufous-naped bellbird and the piping bellbird, are endemic to New Guinea, whilst the crested bellbird is endemic to Australia. The two New Guinean species are found in rainforest; lowland and hill forest in the piping bellbird, or montane forest and secondary forest in the case of the rufous-naped bellbird.[3][2] The crested bellbird occupies drier habitats in Australia including dry woodlands and scrublands.[4] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite journal|last1=Schodde|first1=R.|last2=Christidis|first2=L.|title=Relicts from Tertiary Australasia: undescribed families and subfamilies of songbirds (Passeriformes) and their zoogeographic signal|journal=Zootaxa|date=2014|volume=3786|issue=5|pages=501–522|url=http://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/viewFile/5323/7825}} {{Taxonbar|from=Q18358098}}2. ^1 Boles, W.
