Classification of lesser known genera of orchids

I am 8 names away from finishing a document containing every genus
name I have found from at least a dozen different sources.
What I need to know is what tribe and subtribe (if there is one) they
would belong in so that I can figure out what other genera they are
related to and hence what display class to put them in.
The names in question, and what I know about them, a
Puracaleana - I can't even remember where I saw this name.
I seem to recall seeing Puracalaena as a typographic/orthographic error
for Paracalaena, a small genus of terrestrials from Australia and New
Zealand. They were segregated from Calaena, the Flying Duck Orchid.
