Tribe Phyllocacteae Salm-Dyck :

— Nyffeler & Eggli (2010) stated that the monophyly of the tribe is well supported by Nyffeler (2002) and Crozier (2005). Moreover, for nomenclatural reasons, the name Phyllocacteae (incl. Echinocereeae Buxb.) must be used because it has priority over all the other relevant tribal names, i.e. Hylocereeae Buxb. , Leptocereeae Buxb., Pachycereeae Buxb. and Peniocereeae Doweld. Despite of this, Hunt et al. (2013) placed the three Chilean genera ( Austrocactus Britton & Rose , Eulychnia Phil., and Corryocactus Britton & Rose ) within Echinocereeae Buxb., Nyffeler & Eggli (2010) proposed the following three subtribes, one of which (Subtribe Corryocactinae Buxb. ) includes the three Chilean genera. The relationships between Austrocactus , Eulychnia , and Corryocactus was corroborated by various molecular-based studies (e.g. Nyffeler 2002, Hernández-Hernández et al. 2011, Bárcenas et al. 2011).
