Molecular studies have shown that  Liparis  s.l. is polyphyletic, with the epiphytic  Liparis  alliance well separated from the clade representing  Liparis  in its restricted sense and further forming a phylogenetically heterogeneous assemblage. The generic status of  Cestichis , as the key member of the epiphytic  Liparis  alliance, remains contentious, and the relationships between  Cestichis ,  Stichorkis  and  Platystyliparis  are still unclear and in need of further studies. We herein employ DNA sequence data from nuclear ITS and plastid  mat K regions to clarify the generic boundaries of  Cestichis  and its relationship to the allied genera. Results from both Bayesian inference and maximum likelihood analysis congruently indicate that  Cestichis  as currently circumscribed is not monophyletic. The  Blepharoglossum  clade, corresponding to commonly recognized sect.  Blepharoglossum , forms a monophyletic lineage closely related to the genus  Oberonia  instead of the core  Cestichis  clade. A re-evaluation of the diagnostic morphological characters reveals that this lineage represents a morphologically distinct group. Based on these results,  Blepharoglossum  is removed from  Cestichis  and elevated to generic status. Our study also sheds light on the homoplastic nature of some diagnostic morphological characters used traditionally in the taxonomy of the Malaxidinae.

New insight into the molecular phylogeny of the genus Liparis s.l. (Orchidaceae: Malaxideae) with a new generic segregate: Blepharoglossum
