Insects in this subfamily are distinguished from other Tabanidae by possession of ocelli and the antennal flagellum usually has eight rings.[4]
Tribes and genera
The following listing of genera and tribes is based on Josef Moucha's Synoptic Catalogue,[2] with tribe Scionini revised as in Lessard (2014) with the creation of two new tribes, Goniopsini and Mycteromyiini.[3]
