findings is primarily derived from the publication of the genus 

 Hapalochilus Senghas, in 1978, a segregate from Bulbophyllum 



circumscn 



tunately only the type of the genus was originally transferred. In 

 the meantime Hapalochilus was also treated as part of the 

 Bulbophyllum-complex in the 3rd and revised edition of Schlech-

it 



appeared advisable to separate out the remaining 65 species in 

 the herbarium which were scattered among the some 1,200 spe- 

 cies in the genus Bulbophyllum. We wish to emphasize that these 

 transfers are not routine rubber-stampings, but are the results of 

 individual investigations of actual types or records of types. The 

 genera and species are arranged alphabetically.
