Maxillaria subrepens is an orchid found in tropical South America.

[1] Maxillaria subrepens is 15–18 cm (5.9–7.1 in) tall with fluted pseudobulbs and a narrow leaf that curves over at the tip.

The long sepals form a tubular flower that opens at the end.

These eyespots attract male bees to perform pseudocopulation with the orchid's blossom.

The petals are ovoid and taper at the tip, and are similar in hue to the sepals.
