Loeuille. F.–G.by D. Marques.   Incertae Sedis More studies are necessary to accommodate the following species in the generic concepts proposed in the present synopsis or in new genera. Even though some of these species were included in phylogenetic analyses (  Eremanthus crotonoidesand  Lychnophora damazioi) ( Loeuille et al.2015b), the results were poorly resolved as follows: (1)  Eremanthus crotonoidesemerged as an isolated lineage and (2) a more complete taxonomic sampling is necessary for  Lychnophora damazioi. In order to avoid unecessary new combinations and/or to create new monotypic genera, these species are kept unplaced in the subtribe and shall wait for further evidence.
