The subfamily includes four tribes: Dolichogastrini, Messiasiini, Mydini, and Phyllomydini. Members of this subfamily are found primarily in the Neotropical region, with some genera exhibiting restricted geographic distributions. The genus Mapinguari, previously considered monotypic and rare, has been shown to have broader distribution than previously known.
