Vittarioideae is a subfamily of the Pteridaceae family of ferns,[1] in the order Polypodiales, class Polypodiopsida. This subfamily includes the previous families Adiantaceae (adiantoids or maidenhair ferns) and Vittariaceae (vittarioids or shoestring ferns).[2]
The following diagram, shows a likely phylogenic relationship between the Vittarioideae and other subfamilies of the Pteridaceae.[3][4]

The first well-sampled molecular phylogenetic study of the vittarioids was based on the chloroplast gene rbcL.[5] In this study, it was found that the type species of Monogramma is embedded in Haplopteris. Because Monogramma is the older name, unless Haplopteris is split, all of the species of Haplopteris will eventually be transferred to Monogramma.
