The Wunderlichioideae are a subfamily of flowering plants belonging to the family Asteraceae.

The subfamily includes eight genera and about 24 species that are concentrated in Brazil ( Wunderlichia) and Guyana ( Chimantaea, Stenopadus, and Stomatochaeta), with some species in other South America countries ( Hyalis and Ianthopappus) and others ( Nouelia and Leucomeris) in Southeast Asia and the Himalayas. [1] Distinguishing features of the members of this subfamily are presence of styles with glabrous style branches and a deletion in the rpoB gene. Two tribes, Wunderlicheae and Hyalideae, are recognised.
