Have you gotten Icones Pleurothallidinarum vol. 26 yet? It seems Dr. Luer decided to accept some of Chase's new genera and rankings after all, am I right?
There is a last minute addendum that quotes the following 27 old and new genera: Aberrantia, Acianthera, Ancipitia, Antilla, Apoda-prorrepentia, Areldia, Atopoglossum, Brenesia, Colombiana, Crocodeilanthe, Cucumeria, Didactilus, Dracontia, Elongatia, Empusella, Kraenzlinella, Lindleyalis, Madisonia, Mixis, Proctoria, Rubellia, Specklinia, Talpinaria, Tribulago, Unciferia, Unguella, Xenosia. The interesting note is, should most of former Luer's subgenera be ranked as genera in the future, and as this volume of the green books does not deal with other Pleurothallis subgenera other than Acianthera, therefore supporting my conclusions on Chase's new classification, apparently there will be only 3 true Pleurothallis left in Brazil, or maybe just one! The switch seems interesting, although the placement of too many of our Brazilian Pleurothallis is quite unclear so far. It remains a lot to be done here.
