Wrong name

Is ‘Picocoraciae’ really the name of this clade? I don't know what it is, but I don't think that it is ‘Picocoraciae’ because that name suggests that it is the smallest clade containing Coraciiformes and Piciformes , which this clade isn't (Picodynastiornithes is). Prehaps the reason this clade was called ‘Picocoraciae’ is because some classifications consider either Coraciiformes or Piciformes to be more closely related to Bucerotiformes than to the other, so the smallest clade containing Coraciiformes and Piciformes contains Bucerotiformes and Picodynastiornithes doesn't exist. So ‘Picocoraciae’ is an incorrect name for this clade. --How come why not (talk) 12:50, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
