Macraucheniinae is an extinct subfamily of macraucheniids that lived from the Late Miocene and potentially the Early Holocene, consisting of all the derived genera.

Classification

Below is a cladogram proposed by Schmidt et al., (2014), showing the phylogenetic relationships between the genera of macraucheniines:

	Proadiantus       Tricoelodus       Polymorphis       Pternoconius     Coniopternium     Cramauchenia       Theosodon     Macraucheniinae   Scalabrinitherium       Oxyodontherium       Huayqueriana         Paranauchenia denticulata     Paranauchenia hystatus         Cullinia       Promacrauchenia       Windhausenia     Xenorhinotherium       Macraucheniopsis     Macrauchenia
