The scientific name Fringillidae comes from the Latin word fringilla for the Chaffinch ( Fringilla coelebs ) – a member of that last subfamily – which is common in Europe.

Recent genetic evidence, however, suggests Callorhinus is more closely related to some sea lion species, and the fur seal / sea lion subfamily distinction has been eliminated from many taxonomies.

Velociraptor is a member of the subfamily Velociraptorinae, a derived sub-group of the larger family Dromaeosauridae.

Reanalysis from 2007 has shown that the previous definition of subfamily Spiraeoideae was paraphyletic, To solve this problem, a larger subfamily was defined that includes the former Spiraeoideae and Maloideae.

More recently, it has become apparent that Prunus evolved from within a much larger clade now called subfamily Amygdaloideae ( incorrectly " Spiraeoideae ").

The final subfamily are the atypical anis, which include the small clumsy anis and the larger Guira Cuckoo.

The antbird family Thamnophilidae used to be considered a subfamily, Thamnophilinae, within a larger family Formicariidae that included antthrushes and antpittas.

In general, larger species have often been called lapwings, smaller species plovers or dotterels and there are in fact two clear taxonomic sub-groups: most lapwings belong to the subfamily Vanellinae, most plovers and dotterels to Charadriinae.

When APG II was replaced by APG III in 2009, Agapanthaceae was no longer accepted, but was treated as subfamily Agapanthoideae of the larger version of Amaryllidaceae.

These creatures are usually assumed to have been similar to actual eagles ( for example, as an independent species of the subfamily Buteoninae ), but much larger.

The generally larger bodied members of the subfamily Linyphiinae are commonly found in classic bowl and doily webs or filmy domes.

The Oviraptoridae was further divided into the small, short-armed, and crestless subfamily " Ingeniinae " ( the name was preoccupied by an invertebrate group ), and the larger, crested, long-armed Oviraptorinae.

The Oviraptoridae is further divided into the small, short-armed, and crestless subfamily Ingeniinae, and the larger, crested, long-armed Oviraptorinae.

Lucas and Sobus in their 1989 review of the subfamily Indricotheriinae ( see reference below ), argue for synonymy, and consider that the differences between the two are of species level at most, and may even be the result of sexual dimorphism in a single species, with the larger more robust Indricotherium with larger incisors being probably the male, and the more gracile Paraceratherium the female.

He placed these two genera together in Ornitholestinae — a new subfamily under Allosauridae — and speculated that they were more closely related to the much larger Allosaurus than to other small theropods.

Note that quite a few of the plants that were once included in family Alliaceae have been assigned to the subfamily Brodiaeoideae ( rather than the subfamily Allioideae ).

The last four lineages ( 5, 6, 7, 8 ) are more related to each other than to any of the first four ( 1, 2, 3, 4 ), and so form a clade within the Felinae subfamily of family Felidae.

The rose subfamily Rosoideae consists of more than 850 species, including many shrubs, perennial herbs, and fruit plants such as strawberries and brambles.

The development in the subfamily Silphinae proceeds at a slower rate than in Nicrophorinae.

Furthermore, while morphologically close to dabbling ducks, the mtDNA data indicates that a treatment as distinct subfamily is indeed correct, with the Tadorninae being actually closer to dabbling ducks than the diving ducks are )

Velociraptor is geologically younger than Deinonychus, but even more closely related ( within the subfamily velociraptorinae, see Classification, below ).

A 1984 study of protein allozymes signalled its closer relationship to cockatoos than to parrots, and Mitochondrial 12S rRNA sequence data places it amongst the Calyptorhynchinae ( Dark Cockatoos ) subfamily.

This subfamily contains most of the familiar genera ( other than Iris and Moraea ) such as Ixia, Gladiolus, Crocus, Freesia and Watsonia.

Bauhinia () is a genus of more than 200 species of flowering plants in the subfamily Caesalpinioideae of the large flowering plant family Fabaceae, with a pantropical distribution.

The genus is unique among members of the subfamily Coryphoideae, being the only one with pinnate, rather than palmate leaves.

As members of the subfamily Caprinae of the family Bovidae, muskoxen are more closely related to sheep and goats than to oxen ; however, they are placed in their own genus, Ovibos ( Latin: " sheep-ox ").

The origins and classifications for the family of Trogidae are very controversial but recent NA literature depicts Trogidae as its own family rather than a subfamily of Scarabaeidae.

One subfamily, the Encephalartoideae, is characterized by spirally arranged sporophylls ( rather than spirally orthostichous ), non-articulate leaflets and persistent leaf bases.

Previously, Brocchinia was thought to be a member of the bromeliad subfamily Pitcairnioideae, based on its possession of winged seeds like those seen in other members of that group., but this view has now been overturned after it the recognition that Pitcairnioideae as originally circumscribed more than a century ago represents several morphologically similar but independently derived groups that share only ancestral ( plesiomorphic ) characters, not true synapomorphies ( shared derived characters ).

Pselaphinae is a subfamily of small ( usually less than 2. 5 mm long ) beetles.

This subfamily is distinguished by having a single petiole ( no post-petiole ) and a slit-like orifice, rather than the round acidopore encircled by hairs that typifies the subfamily Formicinae.

Alphaherpesvirinae is a subfamily of Herpesviridae primarily distinguished by reproducing more quickly than other subfamilies of Herpesviridae.
