This species appears to belong to Reichenbach's § Mycaranthes 

 as interpreted by Dr.R.G. Leavitt in his monograph of the Phil- 

 ippine species of Eria (Phil. Journ. Sci. 4 : 217 (C) Bot.). Among 

 Philippine Erias E. puguahaanensis is very distinct and has no 

 near ally. The fleshy calli or keels of the labellum extend from 

 near the base of the disc to the base of the middle lobe.
