The Tephritinae are a subfamily of tephritid fruit flies.
The Tephritinae are grouped into 11 tribes:
25 species in four genera are not included in any of the above tribes. These incertae sedis genera are:
Other genera include:
Osmunda is a genus of primarily temperate-zone ferns of family Osmundaceae. Five to ten species have been listed for this genus.
The Chenopodioideae are a subfamily of the flowering plant family Amaranthaceae in the APG III system, which is largely based on molecular phylogeny, but were included - together with other subfamilies - in family Chenopodiaceae in the Cronquist system. Food species comprise Spinach, Good King Henry, several Chenopodium species, Orache, and Epazote.
Bactrocera is a large genus of tephritid fruit flies, with close to 500 species currently described and accepted.
The Phytalmiinae are a subfamily of tephritid fruit flies.
The Trypetinae are a subfamily of tephritid fruit flies.
Parafreutreta is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Neaspilota is a genus of fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Oedaspis is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Terellia is a genus of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Terellia longicauda is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Neaspilota of the family Tephritidae.
Terellia luteola is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Neaspilota of the family Tephritidae.
Camphorosmeae is a species-rich tribe of the Amaranthaceae, formerly Chenopodiaceae, with 20 genera and about 179 species. It is classified as a single tribe of subfamily Camphorosmoideae.
The precise taxonomy of the genus Allium is still poorly understood with incorrect descriptions being widespread. With over 850 species distributed over the Northern hemisphere Allium is the sole genus in the Allieae, one of four tribes of subfamily Allioideae (Amaryllidaceae). New species continue to be described and Allium is both highly variable and one of the largest monocotyledonous genera, but the precise taxonomy of Allium is poorly understood, with incorrect descriptions being widespread. The difficulties arise from the fact that the genus displays considerable polymorphism and has adapted to a wide variety of habitats. Furthermore, traditional classications had been based on homoplasious characteristics. However, the genus has been shown to be monophyletic, containing three major clades, although some proposed subgenera are not. Some progress is being made using molecular phylogenetic methods, and the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, including the 5.8S rDNA and the two spacers ITS1 and ITS2, is one of the more commonly used markers in the study of the differentiation of the Allium species.
Acrotaeniini is a tribe of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Tephritini is a tribe of fruit flies in the family Tephritidae. There are about 12 genera and at least 40 described species in Tephritini.
Terelliini is a tribe of fruit flies in the family Tephritidae. There are at least six genera and about 104 described species in Terelliini.
Terellia fuscicornis is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Neaspilota of the family Tephritidae.
Eutretini is a tribe of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Myopitini is a tribe of tephritid or fruit flies in the family Tephritidae.
Eutreta parasparsa is a species of tephritid or fruit flies in the genus Eutreta of the family Tephritidae.
