It was long placed in with the other plovers in the family [[Charadriidae]]; however, behavioural evidence suggested they were distinct, and molecular studies confirmed this, suggesting that they are actually more closely related to the [[sheathbill]]s, a uniquely [[Antarctic]] family.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Paton|first1=Tara|last2= Bakera | first2 = Allan J. |last3 = Groth | first3 = Jeff G. | last4 = Barrowclough | first4 = George F. |year=2003|title=RAG-1 sequences resolve phylogenetic relationships within charadriiform birds|journal=Molecular Phylogenetics & Evolution|volume=29|issue=2|pages=268–278 |doi = 10.1016/S1055-7903(03)00098-8|pmid=13678682|bibcode=2003MolPE..29..268P }}</ref>  As such it is now placed in its own family, '''Pluvianellidae'''.
