Note: Calvente et a. (2011) prefer to place Rhipsalidopsis in synonymy, whereas Korotkova (2011) prefers segregation, but evidence for either opinion is weak. See the note on Korotkova, N. et al. (2021) and WS does not take sides on a taxonomic opinion, therefor Rhipsalidopsishas its own taxon page.
