This subfamily currently consists of four genera, totaling 89 species. The majority of these species (74) are included in the genus Parornix Spuler, 1910 . Parornix , along with Callisto Stephens, 1834 , has a Holarctic distribution, with the larvae predominantly feeding on plants from the Rosaceae and Betulaceae families. The other two genera, Graphiocephala Vári, 1961 and Pleiomorpha Vári, 1961 , are only found in southern Africa and are known to feed on plants from the Ebenaceae family.
