Hyalinobatrachinae is a subfamily of glass frogs (family Centrolenidae) that was established in 2009.{{cite web |url=http://www.amphibiaweb.org/lists/Centrolenidae.shtml|title=Centrolenidae |year=2015 |work=AmphibiaWeb: Information on amphibian biology and conservation. [web application] |publisher=Berkeley, California: AmphibiaWeb |accessdate=3 May 2015}} They are found in the Americas from Mexico south to southeastern Brazil and Argentina.{{cite web |url=http://research.amnh.org/vz/herpetology/amphibia/Amphibia/Anura/Centrolenidae/Hyalinobatrachinae |title=Hyalinobatrachinae Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009 |author=Frost, Darrel R. |year=2015 |work=Amphibian Species of the World: an Online Reference.

The subfamily contains 32 species in two genera:

  • Celsiella Guayasamin, Castroviejo-Fisher, Trueb, Ayarzagüena, Rada, and Vilà, 2009 (2 species)
  • Hyalinobatrachium Ruiz-Carranza and Lynch, 1991 (30 species)

AmphibiaWeb gives a slightly higher species count as it includes two additional Hyalinobatrachium species that are placed in synonymy in the Amphibian Species of the World.
