Discussion: Recent revisions by Emmons (1993 a), Emmons and Vucetich (1998), and Emmons et al. (2002) clarified the taxonomy and systematics of this subfamily. Molecular data ( Leite and Patton, 2002) do not support the monopyly of this subfamily. L. Emmons (pers. comm.) is completing a further revision.
