► Three major clades/subfamlies: Fringillinae (Holoarctic), Euphoniinae (Neotropical), Carduelinae (sub-cosmopolitan). ► The Hawaiian honeycreepers (“Drepanidinae”) deeply nested within the Carduelinae. ► The extinct Chaunoproctus ferreorostris sister to some Asian Carpodacus. ► A new generic classification based on a well resolved phylogeny.
