However, the most suitable characters for separating both subtribes are the achene and pappus characters, which are often very difficult to observe in immature herbarium material, and this has often been a source of misclassifications. We have examined two examples, the genus Nikitinia, usually classified among the Carduinae, and the genus Syreitschikovia, placed in the Centaureinae. A study of pappus characters demonstrates that both genera have been misplaced: Nikitinia should be classified in the Centaureinae and Syreitschikovia in the Carduinae. A description of both genera, together with some considerations as to their nomenclature and distribution, is also provided
