Transferred to Orthochilus
A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 suggested the genus Eulophia was paraphyletic unless a clade containing Orthochilus was recognized and 34 species and one subspecies were transferred to the resurrected genus Orthochilus, which included many Eulophia and all Pteroglossaspis taxa.[3] As of December 2023, the transfer was not recognized by Plants of the World Online and other sources.
