The Harpiinae is a bird of preysubfamily which consists of large broad-winged species native to tropical forests. There are 4 genera in the subfamily, all monotypic.[3][4]
The cladogram of the Harpiinae shown below is based on a molecular phylogenetic study of the Accipitridae by Therese Catanach and collaborators that was published in 2024.[5]
