[edit] Description

Satinbirds from New Guinea.

[edit] Taxonomy

Cnemophilidae is a family in the Order Passeriformes.
The three species were formerly placed within the Birds-of-paradise, but a recent study showed, that they are not closely related to the true Birds-of-paradise. As we follow the sequencing of Clements, they are placed here in their new family, but they retain their old names.
