Phoringopsis lavarackiana D.L.Jones was
recently described from material collected
on Cape York Peninsula (Jones & Clements
2004). The genus Phoringopsis D.L.Jones &
M.A.Clem. was described in 2002 (Jones et
al. 2002) for certain species previously placed
in Arthrochilus F.Muell. As this species was
described after the description of the genus
Phoringopsis it does not have a name in the
genus Arthrochilus. The genus Phoringopsis
has not been widely accepted as being distinct
from Arthrochilus so a new combination is
hereby provided within the earlier described
genus.
