Taxonomy and phylogeny
Helconinae has historically been a large subfamily of 4 tribes comprising about 40 genera. Following many changes to classification and included groups over the years, only one of these original tribes, Helconini, remains. Cenocoeliini was split into a new subfamily, Cenocoeliinae, by van Achterberg in 1984. Then, the tribes Brachistini and Diospilini were split into another new subfamily, Brachistinae, by Sharanowski ''et al.'' in 2011. The remaining Helconini comprise about 12 genera. The Helconini subtribe Vervootihelconina was since elevated to tribal status as Vervootihelconini. The enigmatic Ussurohelconini, previously transferred to Cenocoeliinae, was again recovered as a tribe of Helconinae.Genera
