Nucleotide sequences of the nuclear c-mos gene and the mitochondrial cytochrome b and ND2 genes were used to assess the monophyly of Sibley and Monroe's [Distribution and Taxonomy of Birds of the World, Yale University Press, New Haven, 1990] Muscicapoidea superfamily. The relationships and monophyly of major lineages within the superfamily, as well as genera membership in major lineages was also assessed. Analyses suggest that Bombycillidae is not a part of Muscicapoidea, and there is strongly supported evidence to suggest that Turdinae is not part of the Muscicapidae, but is instead sister to a Sturnidae+Cinclidae clade. This clade is in turn sister to Muscicapidae (Muscicapini+Saxicolini). Of the 49 Turdinae and Muscicapidae genera that we included in our analyses, 10 (20%) are shown to be misclassified to subfamily or tribe. Our results place one current Saxicolini genus in Turdinae, two Saxicolini genera in Muscicapini, and five Turdinae and two Muscicapini genera in Saxicolini; these relationships are supported with 100% Bayesian support. Our analyses suggest that c-mos was only marginally useful in resolving these "deep" phylogenetic relationships.
利用核c-mos基因、线粒体细胞色素b基因和ND2基因的核苷酸序列来评估西布利和门罗（《世界鸟类的分布与分类学》，耶鲁大学出版社，纽黑文，1990年）的鹟超科的单系性。还评估了该超科内主要谱系的关系和单系性，以及主要谱系中的属的归属。分析表明，太平鸟科不是鹟超科的一部分，并且有强有力的证据表明鸫亚科不是鹟科的一部分，而是椋鸟科+河乌科分支的姐妹群。这个分支又是鹟科（鹟族+石䳭族）的姐妹群。在我们分析中纳入的49个鸫亚科和鹟科属中，有10个（20%）被证明在亚科或族的分类上有误。我们的结果将一个现有的石䳭族属归入鸫亚科，两个石䳭族属归入鹟族，五个鸫亚科属和两个鹟族属归入石䳭族；这些关系得到了100%贝叶斯支持率的支持。我们的分析表明，c-mos基因在解决这些“深层次”系统发育关系方面作用不大。
