The hawks, kites, eagles and Old World vultures as presently assigned in all likelihood do not form monophyletic groups. The genus level cladogram of the Accipiridae shown below is based on a densely sampled molecular phylogenetic study of the Accipitridae by Therese Catanach and collaborators that was published in 2024.
