Comment:
Comments: Recent revisions by Emmons (1993a), 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
