Pabstiella is a small orchid genus belonging to the subfamily Epidendroideae. They occur in Central and Tropical America. While the "Checklist of Monocotyledons" of Kew Botanical Gardens (2005) considers Pabstiella as an accepted name, it is considered a synonym of Pleurothallis by the Vascular plant families and genera (R.K. Brummitt, 1992). The synonym Anthereon Pridgeon & M. W. Chase is a nom. illeg. because it includes the type of the earlier accepted name Pabstiella
