Cacteae is a tribe of plants of the family Cactaceae found mainly in North America especially Mexico.[1] As of August 2018, the internal classification of the family Cactaceae remained uncertain and subject to change. A classification incorporating many of the insights from the molecular studies was produced by Nyffeler and Eggli in 2010.[2]
Genera

The classification of cacti is in flux; the following list of genera is that from Nyffeler and Eggli (2010).[2]

Acharagma
Ariocarpus
Astrophytum
Aztekium
Coryphantha
Digitostigma
Echinocactus
Echinomastus
Epithelantha
Escobaria
Ferocactus
Geohintonia
Leuchtenbergia
Lophophora
Mammillaria – Cochemiea has been split off since Nyffeler and Eggli (2010)[3]
Mammilloydia
Neolloydia
Obregonia
Ortegocactus – since sunk into Cochemiea[3]
Pediocactus
Pelecyphora
Sclerocactus
Stenocactus
Strombocactus
Thelocactus
Turbinicarpus – Kadenicarpus and Rapicactus have been split off since Nyffeler and Eggli (2010).[4]

The type genus is Mammillaria.
