Note: A. Hirtz et al. 4635, cited erroneously in the protologue, is actually the type of Pleurothallis claviculata Luer & Hirtz (published simultaneously); the correct type of P. catoxys is Luer et al. 12715; this is apparently a correctable error (for further information, see Karremans et al., 2021; Phytotaxa 496: 135)
