TL;DR: The ITS phylogeny indicates that the informal tribal alliances and several genera are not monophyletic and this work represents the first exhaustive study to evaluate the infratribal circumscription and generic affinities using molecular sequence data.
Abstract: A molecular phylogenetic analysis of the tribe Malveae (subfamily Malvoideae, Malvaceae) was undertaken using the internal transcribed spacer region of the 18S-26S nuclear ribosomal repeat (ITS). This work represents the first exhaustive study to evaluate the infratribal circumscription and generic affinities using molecular sequence data. The ITS phylogeny indicates that the informal tribal alliances and several genera are not monophyletic. Two main clades were reconstructed in the phylogeny: one clade pertaining to the Abutilon, Bakeridesia, Batesimalva, Fryxellia, Gaya, Plagianthus, Robinsonella, and Sida alliances, and a second large clade containing genera from the Anisodontea, Callirhoe, Kearnemalvastrum, Malva, Malvastrum, Modiola, Napaea, Phymosia, Sphaeralcea, and Sidalcea alliances.

TL;DR: Horsfordia exalata, Robinsonella glabrifolia, Abutilon procerum is apparently without close allies in the genus.
Abstract: Horsfordia exalata is distinguished from the other three species of Horsfordia by the absence of wings on the fruits. Robinsonella glabrifolia differs from its congeners in having glabrous, elliptic leaves. Abutilon procerum is apparently without close allies in the genus.

TL;DR: The following new species are described: Pavonia discolor from Nayarit, Periptera ctenotricha from Jalisco, Robinsonella chiangii from Puebla, and Dirhamphis mexicana from Guerrero.
Abstract: The following new species are described: Pavonia discolor from Nayarit, Periptera ctenotricha from Jalisco, Robinsonella chiangii from Puebla, and Dirhamphis mexicana from Guerrero. The first three species are from genera well represented in Mexico, but Dirhamphis mex- icana is the second species to be described of a genus previously known only from Bolivia and Paraguay.
