Taxonomy
The term was originally used by the Müller-Doblies' in 1996 as a monotypic subtribe of Hippeastreae, to include Traubia, based on Traub's original use of Traubeae for the same purpose.
Created from a redistribution of genera of Hippeastreae following a molecular phylogenetic study it is composed of the following genera, based on the presence of lorate-leaves rather than petiolate, which form the remaining genera of the Hippeastreae tribe, i.e. Hippeastrinae. In this redistribution the four species of Famatina were polyphyletic and F. maulensis segregated with Phycella and was consequently transferred:
