Here, the genus is recorded from Bolivia for the In addition, I performed a phylogenetic analysis for 38 taxa (24 described first time. Liphanthus species, 9 undescribed species, and five outgroups) by scoring 52 morphological Liphanthus characters. Based on the results of equally weighted character, implied weighting and successive approximation character weighting analysis, was assigned to the subgenus L. toroi L. In addition, it was suggested that belongs to the subgenus (Xenoliphanthus). L. bicellularis Species group 1 (sp. Bolivia, sp. Peru and sp. Argentina), species group 2 (sp. R II, Leptophanthus. sp. R III and sp. R IV) and species group 3 (sp. R V and sp. R metro) are monophyletic and each should also be given its own subgenus.
