Recently the number of species within the Arceuthobium has been reduced from 42 to 26. [1] The structure of the subgenera and sections follows Nickrent et al. (2004) [1] who resolved the phylogeny of the genus using nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences and chloroplast trnT-L-F sequences.
Much of the work in Arceuthobium systematics was undertaken and compiled by Hawksworth and Wiens [2]
This section has the broadest range of host species, parasitizing 20 species of Pinus. [1]
