Notes

Included in Espostoa s.l. by Anderson (2001, 2005) and Hunt (2006), but found to be distant from Espostoa by Schlumpberger & Renner (2012). Consequently, the monotypic Vatricania was suggested to be reinstated.A,B,C,D

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.
