Following recent taxonomic and nomenclatural changes in Tribe Schismatoglottideae, and extending upon a recently published checklist to species of the most of the genera of the tribe, an annotated species listing for Schismatoglottis, the largest genus, is presented to facilitate checking taxonomic status and phylogenetic placement, and current nomenclature. 303 names are enumerated of which 139 are accepted taxa, 109 are synonyms, and 55 are considered to be unresolved as insufficiently known or of dubious status. Where current taxonomy and/or nomenclature differs from the last monograph references are provided. In instances where uncertainty as to generic assignment exists explanatory notes and, where available, published references are given. One new species is established: Schismatoglottis cadierei Buchet & Gagnepain ex S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce, and two new synonymies are proposed: Schismatoglottis jepomii P.C.Boyce & S.Y.Wong = S. pudenda A.Hay; Schismatoglottis kurzii Hook.f. = Apoballis mutata (Hook.f.) S.Y.Wong & P.C.Boyce). 93 species are illustrated from living plants, and an additional 14 from their preserved nomenclatural Types. A species-finder phylogenetic list is presented in Appendix A. All published references to Schismatoglottis appearing since 2000 are listed in Appendix B.
