The following is a list of Eulophia species recognised by Plants of the World Online as of December 2023:[1]

Transferred to Orthochilus

A molecular phylogenetic study published in 2014 suggested the genus Eulophia was paraphyletic unless a clade containing Orthochilus was recognized and 34 species and one subspecies were transferred to the resurrected genus Orthochilus, which included many Eulophia and all Pteroglossaspis taxa.[2] As of December 2023, the transfer was not recognized by Plants of the World Online and other sources. The species transferred in the 2014 study are listed below,[2] with their names in Eulophia.
