They confirmed the monophyly of Lamiinae, and suggested some synonyms for its tribes based on the fragments of two mitochondrial genes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 and large ribosomal RNA subunit) and three nuclear genes (wingless, carbamoyl-phosphate synthase domain of the CAD locus, and large ribosomal rRNA subunit). (2020) performed a study on the tribal classification of Lamiinae by molecular phylogenetic assessment. (2011) synthesized the data of all known extant and fossil Coleoptera for the first time, and recognized 80 tribes of Lamiinae. Breuning (1958–1969) significantly reduced the tribes to 58 by synonymizing some controversial tribes, but this system was not fully accepted by subsequent researchers. Aurivillius (1922, 1923) compiled a catalogue of Lamiinae and divided it into 96 tribes, which was the first comprehensive summary of Lamiinae. This laid a foundation for the later taxonomic study of tribes among Lamiinae. Then, Thomson (1860) proposed an eight-rank taxonomic system (in French: Famille, Tribu, Sous-Tribu, Groupe, Sous-groupe, Division, Genre, Espèce), and recorded 17 groups of Lamiinae, which later increased to 33 groups in 1864.

Blanchard (1845) proposed names for suprageneric groups of Lamiinae and recognized seven groups (Acanthocinites, Lamiites, Mesosites, Petrognathites, Saperdites, Stellognathites and Tetraophtalmites). Latreille (1825) proposed a modern classification of Cerambycidae, first using the term Lamiaires, which later became Lamiinae. However, the phylogenetic relationships of tribes among Lamiinae are controversial. Īs the most taxonomically diverse subfamily in Cerambycidae, the monophyly of Lamiinae is supported based on morphology and/or molecule studies. All in all, Cerambycidae is believed to have great potential for applications in forest health and ecological biodiversity assessment. However, adults of many species of Lepturinae in the Cerambycidae family have flower-visiting behaviors and help plants to pollinate. For example, some Monochamus species are the main transmission vectors of the pine wood nematode Bursaphelenchus xylophilus (Aphelenchoidae). Some are also important quarantine pests. Thus, some species of Cerambycidae are important pests in the agriculture, forestry, and fruit industries.

The family Cerambycidae is one of the largest families of the superfamily Chrysomeloidea (Coleoptera: Polyphaga), consisting of a little less than 40,000 species, among which Lamiinae have about 20,000 species.
