Abstract
Die Gattung Trichosalpinx gehört zur Subtribus Pleurothallidinae und wurde vor 30 Jahren von C.A. LUER (1983) neu beschrieben. Später wurde sie in vier Untergattungen, Trichosalpinx, Tubella, Pseudolepanthes und Xenia (LUER 1997) gegliedert. Obwohl die Untergattung Trichosalpinx fast 30 der etwa 107 zur Zeit akzeptierten Arten
umfasst, enthält die Untergattung Tubella die größte Zahl mit 65 Arten. Trotz ihrer Schönheit blieben die Tubellas in Orchideenbüchern und Zeitschriften bis jetzt fast unberücksichtigt.
The genus Trichosalpinx is a member of subtribe Pleurothallidinae and was described 30 years ago by C.A. Luer (1983). It was later subdivided in four subgenera named Trichosalpinx, Tubella, Pseudolepanthes and Xenia (Luer 1997). Although the subgenus Trichosalpinx encompasses nearly a thirty out of the approx. 107 species currently accepted, it is the subgenus Tubella that comprises the largest number of the members of the genus with 65 species. Despite of their beauty, Tubellas have remained nearly out of the focus of orchid books and magazines, until now.
