The genus, as defined earlier, was found to be polyphyletic. To remedy this, some species have been transferred to Elachistocleis and Syncope.[3][1]

Species

The following species are recognised in the genus Chiasmocleis:[1]

gollark: See, much simpler.
gollark: =tex \frac{\left( x-2\right)\cdot-1}{6}\cdot\left( x-3\right)\cdot\left( x-4\right)+2\cdot\left( x-1\right)\cdot\left( x-3\right)\cdot\left( x-4\right)+\frac{\left( x-1\right)\cdot-9}{2}\cdot\left( x-2\right)\cdot\left( x-4\right)+\frac{\left( x-1\right)\cdot8}{3}\cdot\left( x-2\right)\cdot\left( x-3\right)
gollark: Er, expressions.
gollark: Hmm, it may have dropped a bit, I think I accidentally put in two of the equations.
gollark: =tex 1\cdot\frac{ x-2}{-1}\cdot\frac{ x-3}{-2}\cdot\frac{ x-4}{-3}+4\cdot\frac{ x-1}{1}\cdot\frac{ x-3}{-1}\cdot\frac{ x-4}{-2}+9\cdot\frac{ x-1}{2}\cdot\frac{ x-2}{1}\cdot\frac{ x-4}{-1}+16\cdot\frac{ x-1}{3}\cdot\frac{ x-2}{2}\cdot\frac{ x-3}{1}simpletex \frac{\left( x-2\right)\cdot-1}{6}\cdot\left( x-3\right)\cdot\left( x-4\right)+2\cdot\left( x-1\right)\cdot\left( x-3\right)\cdot\left( x-4\right)+\frac{\left( x-1\right)\cdot-9}{2}\cdot\left( x-2\right)\cdot\left( x-4\right)+\frac{\left( x-1\right)\cdot8}{3}\cdot\left( x-2\right)\cdot\left( x-3\right)
