Taxonomy

Phylogeny

In 2019, Paton et al. published a summary cladogram for the subtribe Plectranthinae, based on an earlier 2018 study. The formerly recognized monotypic genera ''Dauphinea'', ''Madlabium'' and ''Perrierastrum'' were found to form a clade with three species placed in ''Capitanopsis'', so were transferred to that genus. ''Capitanopsis'' was a sister of the newly established genus '' Equilabium''.

Species

Paton et al. (2018) recognize six species: * '' Capitanopsis albida'' (Baker) Hedge * '' Capitanopsis angustifolia'' (Moldenke) Capuron * ''
