Olyreae is a tribe of grasses in the bamboo subfamily (Bambusoideae). Unlike the other two bamboo tribes, Olyreae are herbaceous and do not have a woody stem. Their sister group are the tropical woody bamboos (Bambuseae). ^[2]

Olyreae grow in the understorey of humid tropical forests. They are mainly distributed in the Neotropics around the Amazon Basin but there is also one species from Africa, Olyra latifolia , and one from New Guinea, Buergersiochloa bambusoides . ^[2]

The tribe is divided into three subtribes with 21 genera: ^[1]

Buergersiochloinae	Olyrinae	Parianinae
Buergersiochloa	Agnesia Arberella Brasilochloa Cryptochloa Diandrolyra Ekmanochloa Froesiochloa Lithachne Maclurolyra Mniochloa Olyra Parodiolyra Piresiella Raddia Raddiella Rehia Reitzia (syn. Piresia ) Sucrea Taquara	Eremitis Pariana Parianella
