The generic limits of Mormolyca Fenzl are extended to include Cyrtoglottis Schltr., on the basis of intermediate species. A previously misunderstood species, Maxillaria galeata Scheidw., is included in the genus Mormolyca, and the relationship of this genus to the rest of the Maxillaria-alliance is discussed. One new species, Mormolyca polyphylla, is described, and a synopsis of the genus is presented.
