Within the taxonomy of biology, the subfamily Muscinae includes two of the more familiar genera within the Muscidae family; Musca and Stomoxys.
From the 19th century, the term "Muscinae" is also an obsolete scientific name for the mosses (modern Bryophyta), once used in the taxonomy of Ernst Haeckel (circa 1899).
