Recent molecular studies have shown that the genus Spiradiclis is placed in Ophiorrhiza. Consequently, all species previously classified under Spiradiclis have been reassigned to Ophiorrhiza. In this paper, we formally transfer eight recently described Chinese species of Spiradiclis which have been transferred to Ophiorrhiza.
