Robiquetia Gaudichaud-Beaupré (1829: 426) . Type species: Robiquetia ascendens Gaudich.
Malleola J.J.Sm. & Schltr. in Schlechter (1913: 979). Type species: Not designated (Note: the lectotype proposed by Garay (1972), Malleola sphingoides J.J.Sm. , is not valid as type because this species was not mentioned in the protologue.).
Abdominea Smith (1914d: 52) View in CoL Type species: Abdominea micrantha J.J.Sm. View in CoL
Megalotus Garay (1972: 184) View in CoL Type species: Megalotus bifidus (Lindl.) Garay View in CoL (basionym: Saccolabium bifidum Lindl. View in CoL ).
India Rao (1998 View in CoL , publ. 1999: 701) India arunachalensis A.N.Rao. View in CoL
Samarorchis Ormerod (2008: 106) View in CoL Type species: Samarorchis sulitiana Ormerod. View in CoL
Our analysis indicates that Robiquetia View in CoL ( Fig. 1G, H View FIGURE 1 ) should be expanded to include Abdominea View in CoL , Malleola View in CoL and Megalotus View in CoL because Robiquetia View in CoL would otherwise be paraphyletic. Morphologically, these species share a pendent inflorescense with minute to small (up to c. 2 cm diam.), spurred flowers. We also include here India View in CoL and Samarorchis View in CoL , even though neither genus has been sampled for DNA analysis and hence uncertainty remains. Given their overall similarities with Robiquetia View in CoL , we believe that both genera are best placed in this genus.
