The Nhandiroboideae are a subfamily comprising a paraphyletic basal group of genera in the Cucurbitaceae, or gourd family, of flowering plants.[2] The Nhandiroboideae comprise all members of the Cucurbitaceae that do not belong to the Cucurbitoideae.[3] Alternative names for the subfamily are Fevilleoideae and Zanonioideae. Because the subfamily is not monophyletic, unlike the Cucurbitoideae, a division of the family only to tribal level has been preferred.[1]
