本科包括有24个现生种,分属三个亚科、六个属:

Artamids used to be 单型, containing only the woodswallows, but it was expanded to include the family Cracticidae in 1994. Some authors, however, still treat the two as separate families.[2] Some species in this family are known for their beautiful song. Their feeding habits vary from nectar sucking (woodswallows) to predation on small birds (pied currawong).

粗而短,体型似燕,因而得名。而其多于森林活动,故又有“森燕”[1](Woodswallow[3])一称。
