Notes

Monotypic; distributed in Argentina. Sampled by Hernández-Hernández & al. 2011, resolved as sister to a clade of Acanthocalycium + Echinopsis, albeit with support <50%.A,B

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.
