Taxonomy
The subfamily is composed of 21 tribes. From 2004 they were grouped into three supertribes: Senecionodae, Asterodae, and Helianthodae. A phylogenetic study published in 2019 found that Asterodae was polyphyletic, and in 2024 Feng et al. placed tribes Anthemideae and Calenduleae in the supertribes Anthemidodae and Calendulodae, respectively.
