ABSTRACT
The orchid genus Phloeophila is distributed from southern Mexico to Brazil
and Bolivia, as well as Cuba. A taxonomic revision including the three Phloeophila species
present in Ecuador is presented. Morphological characteristics, an identification key, maps
of known localities and illustrations of the species are also included. In Ecuador, species
of Phloeophila are only known from the Amazonian rainforests, growing from 890 to
1600 meters of altitude. Phloeophila condorana is described as a new species based on
specimens collected in the Ecuadorian province of Zamora-Chinchipe and compared to
Phloeophila nummularia. Phloeophila nummularia is reported for the first time in Peru.
A lectotype for Pleurothallis echinantha is selected.
