'''''Myrmechila''''' is a small ] from the orchid ] ].

The name is derived from the Greek words ''myrmex'' (ant) and ''cheilos'' (lip), referring to the arrangement of the ] calli.

This genus of terrestrial tuberous plants is indigenous to ], where it is abundant, and ], where it is close to extinction. There are two ovate leaves with conspicuous venation. A large flower grows at the end of an upright stem. They are pollinated by sexual deception and pseudocopulation of specific male thynnine ]s from the family ].

These species used to belong to the genus ''Chiloglottis'', but were transferred in 2005 by David Jones and Mark Clements to ''Myrmechila'' on morphological and molecular grounds. However, this reclassification is not accepted by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, England and the majority of other orchidists.
