Summary One new family, Siparunaceae, and one new subfamily, Peumoideae (Monimiaceae), are proposed from a reappraisal of the relationships between the families of the order Laurales and within Monimiaceae s.s. Siparunaceae comprise three genera, namely Siparuna Aubl., Bracteanthus Ducke, and Glossocalyx Benth., which were hitherto included in Monimiaceae; Peumoideae is monotypic. Notes on the characters and affinities of these taxa are given and Monimiaceae are redefined.
