Species Ectophylla alba H. Allen 1892

Discussion: Subtribe Ectophyllina. Some authors have treated Mesophylla as a junior synonym; see Goodwin and Greenhall (1962), Simmons and Voss (1998), and Wetterer et al. (2000). However, relationships of these taxa remain unclear (see Owen [1987] and Baker et al. [2000]), so Mesophylla is treated here as a distinct genus pending further study.
