Family Apodidae Olphe-Galliard, 1887 View in CoL View at ENA (1836)
Remarks.—The family Hemiprocnidae is sometimes treated as a subfamily of Apodidae (Hemiprocninae), but can be readily distinguished from Apodidae in numbers of osteological features, including weak medial protrusion of the processus acrocoracoideus of the coracoid (which is strongly protruded medially in Apodidae ) and a caudally bowed os metacarpale minor of the carpometacarpus (straighter in Apodidae ).
