Continuing studies of Neotropical Goodyerinae have revealed that three transfers are required in the genus Aspidogyne. Furthermore, the descriptions of 38 new taxa are required in the genera Aspidogyne (3), Kreodanthus (4), Ligeophila (one species, one variety), and Microchilus (28 species, one subspecies). The genus Rhamphorhynchus is considered to be congeneric with Aspidogyne. Microchilus glanduliferus is considered to be conspecific with M. campanulatus. Extensions of distribution are reported for three species. Illustrations are provided for 40 of the 45 taxa treated.
