Zephyranthes phycelloides, commonly known as añañuca roja, is a species of flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae.[1] It is a bulbous geophyte endemic to central Chile. It is morphologically similar to other species of its genus, but also notably to Phycella cyrtanthoides. Z. phycelloides, however, has a trifid (three lobed) stigma as opposed to the capitated (rounded) stigma of P. crytanthoides.[2]

The species was formerly known as Rhodophiala phycelloides.
