TL;DR: During a review of the genera and suprageneric taxa of Euphorbiaceae sensu lato it has become evident that a large number of taxonomic and nomenclatural changes are necessary.
Abstract: A bstr A ct . Name changes of species in genera of Euphorbiaceae sensu lato affected by revisions of genera and suprageneric taxa are documented. The genus Reverchonia (Phyllanthoideae-Phyllantheae) is reduced to a section of Phyllanthus, and a new name, Phyllanthus warnockii, is provided for Reverchonia arenaria. In the Acalyphoideae-Plukenetieae, the genus Bia is recognized as separate from Tragia, with two sections, Bia and Zuckertia; several new combinations are proposed: Bia cordata, B. fallax, and B. fendleri. In the Crotonoideae-Codiaeae, Anomalocalyx is reduced to a synonym of Dodecastigma, and its single species is now named Dodecastigma uleana. In the Euphorbioideae-Hureae, Tetraplandra is accommodated in Algernonia as subgenus Tetraplandra, and the species are transferred to Algernonia: Algernonia amazonica, A. bahiensis, A. dimitrii, A. kuhlmannii, A. leandrii, and A. riedelii. During a review of the genera and suprageneric taxa of Euphorbiaceae sensu lato it has become evident that a large number of taxonomic and nomenclatural changes are necessary. These changes, which include both the relegation and resurrection of genera, necessitate new combinations or new names for species in some of the genera affected. The sequence of genera follows that of Webster (1994). P hyll A nthoide A e –Phyll A nthe A e

TL;DR: A synopsis of the tribe Hureae is presented with nomenclatural updates, a discussion of diagnostic features, and summaries of geographical distributions, based on the analysis of approximately 300 voucher specimens, in addition to bibliographic documentation.
Abstract: A synopsis of the tribe Hureae is presented with nomenclatural updates, a discussion of diagnostic features, and summaries of geographical distributions. This study is based on the analysis of approximately 300 voucher specimens, including collections and photographs of types, in addition to bibliographic documentation. Seventeen species distributed in three genera were recognized: Algernonia (11 species), Hura (2), and Ophthalmoblapton (4). All species are American with the majority distributed within the Atlantic Forest, particularly in southeastern Brazil. A key for the identification of genera and species is provided along with illustrations, information on the geographic distributions and conservation status. Lectotypification for Algernonia leandrii is proposed.
