Abstract

A review of the phylogenetic relationships of the subfamilies of Simaroubaceae is presented and the distribution patterns of the American genera are discussed. Engler's six subfamilies are evaluated and the three subfamilies represented in the Americas and their included genera are discussed in detail. The eight American genera fall into three broad distributional categories: widely distributed throughout the neotropics, limited to northern South America, and disjunct between the West Indies, Central America and Mexico and southern South America. These distributions are discussed and interpreted.Uma revisão das relações filogenéticas das subfamilias de Simaroubaceae é apresentada e os padrões de distribuição dos gêneros americanos são discutidos. As seis subfamilias de Engler são avaliadas e as três subfamilias com gêneros representados nas Américas são discutidas em detalhe. Os oito gêneros americanos incluem-se em três padrões gerais de distribuição: amplamente distribuídos nos neotrópicos; limitados ao norte da América do Sul; e com distribuição disjunta entre as Índias Ocidentais, América Central e México, e o sul da América do Sul. Estas distribuições são discutidas e interpretadas.
