The subfamily
Cheirurina with 269 species in 38 genera occur from the
Floian to the Givetian and are probably
monophyletic. The 109 species in 15 genera of the
Acanthoparyphinae are also probably monophyletic, and are known from the
Floian to the
Ludfordian. The
Cyrtometopinae were present between the Floian and the Upper
Katian, enveloping 22 species in 5 genera, of which the monophyly is unclear. The
Deiphoninae are probably monophyletic, occur from the
Dapingian to the
Gorstian, having 71 species assigned to 6 genera. The possibly
paraphyletic Eccoptochilinae with 67 species in 13 genera are known between the Floian and upper Katian. The
Heliomerinae are a small monophyletic group with 13 species in 2 genera. The
Pilekiinae are the earliest subfamily and therefore certainly
paraphyletic, occurring in the upper
Furongian and going extinct in the
Darriwilian with 56 known species assigned to 19 genera. The
monotypic Sphaerexochinae has about 50 species between the Floian and
Přídolí. ==Genera==
