text: # Ramphastides
  
  Ramphastides is an infraorder of the order Piciformes that includes toucans and barbets. Formerly, the barbets have been classified in a single family, the Capitonidae. However, this has turned out to be paraphyletic with regard to toucans, which resulted in the Capitonidae being split into several families.
  
  ## Systematics
  
  The Ramphastides contain five extant families. Sometimes, they are treated as the superfamily Ramphastoidea.
