Synonyms

• Homotypic
  • Rhipsalidinae Britton & Rose, Cact. 4: 208. 1923.
  • Rhipsalidoideae Burnett, Outlines Bot. 742, 1130. 1835.

• Heterotypic
  • Hylorhipsalidinae Doweld in Sukkulenty 4(1-2): 37. 2001.
    • Type genus: Hylorhipsalis Doweld
  • Rhipsalidopsidinae Doweld, Sukkulenty 4(1-2): 31. 2001.
    • Type genus: Rhipsalidopsis Britton & Rose
  • Schlumbergerinae Volgin, Feddes Repert. 97: 563. 1986.
    • Type genus: Schlumbergera Lem.
      

Note: Calvente et a. (2011) prefer to subsume Rhipsalidopsis into Schlumbergera, whereas Korotkova (2011) prefers segregation, but evidence for either opinion is weak. WS does not take sides on a taxonomic opinion, therefor Rhipsalidopsis is segregated until stronger evidence is available.
