Echinosepala is a genus of orchids. The genus contains 17 species native to the tropical Americas, ranging from Nicaragua to Bolivia and northern Brazil, and to Belize and Jamaica.
The genus comprises the former subgenera Silenia and Satyria of genus Myoxanthus. There is little reason to resist this change, thus Echinosepala is widely accepted. The genus was formerly known as Echinella Pridgeon & M.W.Chase, but as this latter also refers to an algae genus, it has been changed to Echinosepala.
