- Subfamiliae (3): Balaustiinae - Callidosomatinae - Erythraeinae
- Genera (9): Abrolophus - Caeculisoma - Callidosoma - Erythrites - Microsmaris - Momorangia - Neosmaris(E) - Ramsayella(E) - Taranakia(E)
- NOTE: Sirvid et al. (2010: 85) list only Abrolophus - Erythrites - Microsmaris - Neosmaris(E) - Ramsayella(E) - Taranakia(E). It is hard to know why the other genera were not mentioned. The species in these missing genera are not combined with any other genus in Sirvid et al. (2010), so it would seem that they have either been overlooked or else considered to be synonyms of other taxa on the list, though there is no literature justification for the latter possibility.
