The resulting cladograms reveal three clades, with Liparis found in all three. The results confirm the phylogenetic
analyses of previous studies (Cameron, 2005; Li & Yan, 2013; Su et al. 2014) and suggest that the generic delimitations
between Liparis and related genera need to be re-evaluated. The new species identified was nested into Liparis
sootenzanensis subclade of clade C and sister to L. habenarina (PP1.00), supporting L. habenarina (F. Muell) Benth.
as a member of Liparis.
