Phloeophila is a genus of orchids belonging to the tribe Pleurothallidinae. While an initial molecular phylogeny in 2013 suggested that the type species of the genus ( Phloeophila nummularia ) was nested within Pabstiella , further sampling showed that it in fact belongs to a unique clade distant from Pabstiella, forming the current basis of the genus.
