Subtribe is a taxonomic category ranking which is below the rank of tribe and above genus.[1] The standard suffix for a subtribe is -ina (in animals) or -inae (in plants). The early use of this word is from 19th century. An example of a subtribe is Hyptidinae, a group of flowering plants that contains approximately 400 accepted species distributed in 19 genera.[2]
