The genus is based on <em>B. parviflora</em> Munzinger &amp; J.R.Morel gen. et sp. nov., a new species collected during an expedition on Mt Katalupaik, in the North Province of New Caledonia’s main island. Originally considered as a species of <em>Coronanthera</em>, our phylogenetic analysis – including 19 species within Coronanthereae and two individuals of <em>B. parviflora</em> gen. et sp.&nbsp;nov., and using three molecular markers (nuclear rDNA ITS, and chloroplast regions trnL-trnF and trnE-trnT) – showed that the new species is not close to <em>Coronanthera</em> in subtribe Coronantherinae, but belongs to subtribe Negriinae where it is sister to <em>Depanthus</em>. From that genus <em>Bopopia</em> gen.&nbsp;nov. differs in floral symmetry (zygomorphic vs actinomorphic) and the number of stamens (4 vs 5). From the other genera of Negriinae the new genus differs in the white corolla and its indeterminate thyrse with 3 to 5 levels of branching. The morphological circumscription of the subtribe Negriinae is amended to include <em>Bopopia</em> gen.&nbsp;nov. Two keys are provided, one to the subtribes in the tribe Coronanthereae, and one to the genera in subtribe Negriinae. Following the IUCN Red List categories and criteria, the conservation status of <em>B. parviflora</em> gen. et sp.&nbsp;nov. is provisionally assessed as Endangered (EN).</p>}, number={1}, journal={European Journal of Taxonomy}, author={Morel, Jérémie and Duminil, Jérôme and Munzinger, Jérôme}, year={2021}, month={Mar.}, pages={82-101} }
