--><p><i>Kopsiopsis</i> was first recognized by Beck but was treated as part of <i>Boschniakia</i> by many subsequent authors. Zhang Zhi Y. (1987) and Yu W. B. (2013) presented further morphological evidence for separating the two genera. <i>Kopsiopsis</i> differs from <i>Boschniakia</i> in the following traits: inflorescences compact or open racemes versus dense spikes; pedicels present versus absent; bracteoles present (rarely absent) versus absent; corollas funnelform versus short-tubular, constricted above ovary versus corolla base inflated; leaves spatulate versus triangular or lanceolate; and, seeds 1.5–3 mm versus 0.5–0.7 mm. Molecular phylogenetic analysis of the family (J. R. McNeal et al. 2013) supports <i>Boschniakia</i> as sister to a lineage that includes the genera <i>Conopholis</i>, <i>Epifagus</i>, and <i>Kopsiopsis</i>, and as-yet unpublished molecular data suggest that <i>Kopsiopsis</i> may be sister to the southern Mexican genus Eremitilla Yatskievych & J. L. Contreras (S. Mathews, pers. comm.).</p>
