Abstract;The systematic position of the genus Diaphanodon Renauld & Cardot is critically reviewed. Subspecific ranks under Diaphanodon blandus (Harvey) Renauld & Cardot are no longer recognized. Diaphanodon laevivittatus Zanten & Townsend is synonymized with D. blandus. Diaphanodon friisii Bizot & Lewinsky is transferred from the subspecies of D. blandus to a synonym of D. procumbens (C. Mueller) Renauld & Cardot. Diaphanodon, consisting of two species, is now placed in the Leskeaceae. A key to species is provided. (author abst.)
