In terms of the number of species, this is the largest tribe.<ref name=APweb_Scilloideae/><ref name=WFO_Scilloideae/> Its species have leaves with pustules or spots, rounded seeds and contain [[homoisoflavanone]]s. The tribe can in turn be divided into three subtribes:<ref name=APweb_Scilloideae/><ref name=WFO_Scilloideae/>

* [[Pseudoprospero|Pseudoprosperinae]] <small>Speta</small>
: A monotypic subtribe genus with a single species, ''[[Pseudoprospero|Pseudoprospero firmifolium]]'', is from eastern South Africa. It has two ovules per carpel with one seed per locule and a basic chromosome number ''n'' = 9.<ref name=APweb_Scilloideae/>

* Massoniinae <small>Bentham & Hooker f.</small>
: Species are distributed in Africa south of the Sahara and India. There are two or more ovules per carpel. The seeds have [[elaiosome]]s. The basic chromosome number is 5 to 10+ (many 20).<ref name=APweb_Scilloideae/> The subtribe contains about 13–20 genera (depending on the treatment), including ''[[Daubenya]]'', ''[[Drimiopsis]]'', ''[[Eucomis]]'', ''[[Lachenalia]]'' (about 110 species), ''[[Ledebouria]]'' (about 80 species), ''[[Massonia]]'' (including ''Whiteheadia''), ''[[Merwilla]]'', ''[[Schizocarphus]]'' and ''[[Veltheimia]]''.<ref name=PfosWetsUngaPren04/>

* Hyacinthinae <small>Parlatore</small>
: Species are distributed in Europe, the Mediterranean and North Africa and the Middle East, and then again in the Far East. There are two to eight ovules per carpel; elaiosomes are present in the seeds; and the basic chromosome number is 4 to 8+.<ref name=APweb_Scilloideae/> The subtribe contains about 14–25 genera (depending on the treatment), including ''[[Bellevalia]]'' (about 50 species), ''[[Brimeura]]'', ''[[Hyacinthoides]]'', ''[[Muscari]]'' (about 50 species), ''[[Scilla]]'' (about 30 species) and ''[[Prospero (plant)|Prospero]]'' (about 25 species).<ref name=APweb_Scilloideae/>
