Notes
Phylogenetics: The diminutive Eriosyce laui Lüthy from North Chile has been found to differ morphologically from the remaining taxa of Eriosyce s.l. by Nyffeler & Eggli (1997), and was subsequently segregated as the monotypic genus Rimacactus. This segregation is backed up by molecular data of Guerrero & al. (2020).

Taxon standing
Category B. The genus is monophyletic based on phylogenetic studies that support the clade based on a sufficiently dense or even complete sampling, or support a monotypic genus as a distinct lineage, but do not provide a new taxonomic treatment at the species level. In many cases, older classical taxonomic synopses or a monographic treatment exist for these genera providing a reliable assessment of the species included.
