P. M. Beardsley and R. G. Olmstead (2002) suggested that the three genera belonged in a more broadly circumscribed Phrymaceae. Two subfamilies were proposed, but not published, to accommodate the alignment of Lancea and <i>Mazus</i> in a clade sister to the rest of the Phrymaceae. D. C. Albach et al. (2009) suggested that, on the basis of monophyly, Lancea and <i>Mazus</i> could not be included in the Phrymaceae or any other then-circumscribed family.</p> |tables= |references= }}<!-- --><!-- -->{{#Taxon: name=Mazaceae |author=Richard K.
