Borasseae Caryoteae Chuniophoeniceae Corypheae Cryosophileae Phoeniceae Sabaleae Trachycarpeae The Coryphoideae is one of five subfamilies in the palm family, Arecaceae.

[2][3][4] It contains all of the genera with palmate leaves, excepting Mauritia, Mauritiella and Lepidocaryum, all of subfamily Calamoideae, tribe Lepidocaryeae, subtribe Mauritiinae.

[4] Pinnate leaves do occur in Coryphoideae, in Phoenix, Arenga, Wallichia and bipinnate in Caryota.

Coryphoids are well-represented in the fossil record from the Late Cretaceous (Campanian) onwards, primarily due to the presence of the form genus Sabalites.

[4] Also Uhlia is an extinct genus described from permineralized remains recovered from the Ypresian Princeton Chert in British Columbia, Canada.
