Since the seminal work of Radlkofer, several authors have attempted to overcome challenges presented by the family's complex infra-familial classification. With the advent of molecular systematics, revisions of the various proposed groupings have provided significant momentum, but we still lack a formal classification system rooted in an evolutionary framework. METHODS: Nuclear DNA sequence data were generated for 123 genera (86%) of Sapindaceae using target sequence capture with the Angiosperms353 universal probe set. HybPiper was used to produce aligned DNA matrices. Phylogenetic inferences were obtained using coalescence-based and concatenated methods. The clades recovered are discussed in light of both benchmark studies to identify synapomorphies and distributional evidence to underpin an updated infra-familial classification. KEY RESULTS: Coalescence-based and concatenated phylogenetic trees had identical topologies and node support, except for the placement of Melicoccus bijugatus Jacq. Twenty-one clades were recovered, which serve as the basis for a revised infra-familial classification.CONCLUSIONS: Twenty tribes are recognized in four subfamilies: two tribes in Hippocastanoideae, two in Dodonaeoideae, and 16 in Sapindoideae (no tribes are recognized in the monotypic subfamily Xanthoceratoideae). Within Sapindoideae, six new tribes are described: Blomieae Buerki and Callm.; Guindilieae Buerki, Callm. and Acev.-Rodr.; Haplocoeleae Buerki and Callm.; Stadmanieae Buerki and Callm.; Tristiropsideae Buerki and Callm.; and Ungnadieae Buerki and Callm. This updated classification provides a backbone for further research and conservation efforts on this family. specialized AFRIQUE MADAGASCAR ASIE INDE AMERIQUE DU SUD 076BOTA01 108 7 1234-1251 [+ Corrigendum, 109, 8, 1326-1327, 2022] 2021 0002-9122 https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010082451 10.1002/ajb2.1693 0002-9122 [F B010082451] https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010082451 https://horizon.documentation.ird.fr/exl-doc/pleins_textes/2021-08/010082451.pdf IRD - Base Horizon / Pleins textes 2021-07-20 2026-07-21 fdi:010082451 fre
