- Nyctimystes Stejneger, 1916
- Ranoidea Tschudi, 1838 — including Cyclorana Steindachner, 1867 and parts of Litoria Tschudi, 1838
The AmphibiaWeb continues to recognize the traditional placement of this subfamily in the family Hylidae. Three genera are included:[3]
- Cyclorana Steindachner, 1867
- Litoria Tschudi, 1838
- Nyctimystes Stejneger, 1916
