abstract = {Opiliaceae are a pantropical family of the Santalales mainly distributed in the Old World with only one genus in the neotropics. Opiliaceae have remained taxonomically unresolved and the generic relationships within the family have been disputed. Here we conducted molecular phylogenetic analyses of the family and its close relatives using a combined data set of the nuclear ribosomal (SSU rDNA and LSU rDNA) and the chloroplast rbcL, matK and trnL-F regions. We also carried out a morphological phylogenetic analysis using 24 characters for all the species of Opiliaceae and three species in Santalaceae s.l. and Strombosiaceae as outgroups. Molecular analyses strongly supported the monophyly of Opiliaceae. Agonandra is sister to all the other genera of Opiliaceae. The remaining genera form two major clades: the Opilia clade (including Cansjera, Lepionurus, Opilia, Pentarhopalopilia, Rhopalopilia and Urobotrya), and the other consisting of Anthobolus plus the Champereia clade (including Champereia, Melientha and Yunnanopilia). The Chinese endemic genus Yunnanopilia is supported as a distinct genus. We propose a new classification of Opiliaceae, recognizing 12 genera and four tribes, with the description of a new tribe, Champereieae Bing Liu, C.T.Le, L.M.Lu & Z.D.Chen.}
