		+	This order includes Swifts, Treeswifts, and Hummingbirds. Similarities between these groups are especially found in the structure of the wing, with both arm and forearm very short while the hand is elongated.

-	Apodiformes is an order in the class [[:Category:Taxonomy\|Aves]].	+	Apodiformes is an order in the class [[:Category:Taxonomy\|Aves]]. The closest relatives to this order are the Owlet-nightjars, [[:Category:Aegothelidae\|Aegothelidae]], a family in the order [[:Category:Caprimulgiformes\|Caprimulgiformes]] which contains Nightjars, Frogmouths, Potoos, and the Oilbird. This creates a taxonomic problem for which there are three possible solutions:
		+	*1 Transfer Owlet-nightjars to Apodiformes,
		+	*2 Make a new overriding taxon that contains Apodiformes and Aegothelidae, OR
		+	*3 Embed Apodiformes within the nightjars (Caprimulgiformes)
