[Eucalliphorinae Villeneuve, 1920: 225. No standing in nomenclature since not based on the name of a genus (ICZN 1999; Code Article 11.7). Villeneuve did not base the name on the genus Eucalliphora Townsend, 1908 as one might think. For more details, see Sabrosky (1999: 131, 337, 359).]

[Xantochocalliphorinae Villeneuve, 1920: 225. No standing in nomenclature since not based on the name of a genus (ICZN 1999; Code Article 11.7) (cf. Sabrosky 1999: 359).]

Generic composition. The genera I consider to belong to this subfamily are listed in Appendix 2 together with their synonyms. In this appendix the authors of all the genus-group and most of the species-group names belonging to the subfamily (except those belonging in the genera Bengalia , Hemigymnochaeta and Tricyclea ) are included. The authors of these names are usually not mentioned in the running text to follow.
