Traditionally, the members of the tribes Gochnatieae (Gochnatioideae; Panero and Funk 2002) and Hyalideae (Wunderlichioideae; Panero and Funk 2007, 2008) have been thought to be related on the base of shared morphological characters. The recognition of Gochnatieae (Panero and Funk 2002) was the result of resolving the polyphyly of Mutisieae suggested on the base of morphology (Cabrera 1977; Hansen 1991b; Karis et al. 1992) and supported by molecular data (Kim et al. 2002; Panero and Funk 2002). The American tribe Gochnatieae comprises (Panero and Funk 2002) four genera: Cnicothamnus Griseb., Cyclolepis Gillies ex D. Don, Gochnatia Kunth, and Richterago Kuntze (including Actinoseris), and probably a fifth one, Chucoa Cabrera, not sampled in their analysis. The new tribe Hyalidae includes (Panero & Funk, 2002) four South American and Asian genera (Hyalis, Inthopappus, Leucomeris, and Nouelia).
