I just looked up the IOC web site worldbirdnames.org and it looks like the 
storm-petrels will be split into two families in the next version 5.1 due in 
early 2015.

Hydrobatidae - northern storm-petrels
Oceanitidae - southern storm-petrels

Not exactly certain where each genus will fall, but I guess we will find out in 
2015.



For those interested in families, it looks like Swallow-tailed 
Cotinga will be put back into Cotingidae (it was previously indeterminate)
