The Capreolinae, Odocoileinae, or the New World deer are a subfamily of deer. Alternatively, they are known as the telemetacarpal deer, due to their bone structure being different from the plesiometacarpal deer subfamily Cervinae. The telemetacarpal deer maintain their distal lateral metacarpals, while the plesiometacarpal deer maintain only their proximal lateral metacarpals.{{cite journal|author=Azanza, B.|author2=Rossner, G.|author3=Ortiz-Jaureguizar E.|name-list-style=amp|year=2013|title=The early Turolian (late Miocene) Cervidae (Artiodactyla, Mammalia) from the fossil site of Dron-Durkheim 1 (German) and implications on the origin of crown cervids|journal= Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments|volume=93|pages=217–258|doi=10.1007/s12549-013-0118-8|issue=1|bibcode=2013PdPe...93..217A |s2cid=129071065|hdl=11336/13861|hdl-access=free}}

The Capreolinae are believed to have originated in the Middle Miocene, between 7.7 and 11.5 million years ago, in Central Asia.{{cite journal|author=Gilbert, C.|author2=Ropiquet, A.|author3=Hassanin A. |title=Mitochondrial and nuclear phylogenies of Cervidae (Mammalia, Ruminantia): Systematics, morphology, and biogeography |journal=Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution |date=July 2006 |volume=40 |issue=1 |pages=101–117 |doi=10.1016/J.Ympev.2006.02.017 |pmid=16584894|bibcode=2006MolPE..40..101G }}{{dead link|date=November 2016 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}

Although this subfamily is called New World deer in English, it includes reindeer, moose, and roe deer, all of which live in Eurasia in the Old World.
