The Neomorphinae are a subfamily of the cuckoo family, Cuculidae. Members of this subfamily are known as New World ground cuckoos, since most are largely terrestrial and native to the Americas.^[1] Only Dromococcyx and Tapera are more arboreal, and these are also the only brood parasitic cuckoos in the Americas, while the remaining all build their own nests.

Genera

	Dromococcyx Wied-Neuwied, 1832	D. pavoninus Pelzeln, 1870 – pavonine cuckoo D. phasianellus (Spix, 1824) – pheasant cuckoo
	Geococcyx Wagler, 1831	G. californianus (Lesson, 1829) – greater roadrunner G. velox (Wagner, 1836) – lesser roadrunner
