Abstract

While compiling a continuously updated checklist of families and genera of world embryophytes, the authors find it necessary to resolve some nomenclatural issues in Asteraceae (Compositae). Here we propose a new supertribal classification for Asteroideae with five supertribes, two of which (Calendulodae and Anthemidodae) are new and one (Ambrosiodae) is a replacement name. A new tribe Leucomerideae in Stifftioideae is described, with the monotypic Nouelia newly treated as a synonym. Two older generic names, Anacis and Epilepis, are resurrected to follow the revision of Coreopsis s.l. and to avoid later homonymy or superfluity, alongside with necessary new combinations. A new nothogenus ×Coreacis is thereby established. The correct spelling Malacotrichinae of the subtribe ‘Malacothricinae’ is discussed.
