Notes

Both species of this genus were sampled in two different phylogenetic analyses with different overall sampling. Neowerdermannia vorwerkii was found weakly supported (71% MLBS / 51% BS) as sister to Eriosyce aurata + E. islayensis by Hernández-Hernández & al. (2011). Neowerdermannia chilensis was found weakly supported as sister to Yavia and the two as sister to Rimacactus; the clade of Neowerdermannia, Yavia and Rimacactus was found as sister to Parodia, not close to Eriosyce aurata or E. islayensis. Hence, the monophyly of Neowerdermannia and its exact relationship to Eriosyce and Parodia still need to be established.A
