MONTEROS, Marco F.; BAQUERO, Luis E.  and  VIEIRA-URIBE, Sebastián. A new Pseudolepanthes (Pleurothallidinae: Orchidaceae) from Northwest Ecuador. Lankesteriana [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.1, pp.5-10. ISSN 1409-3871.  http://dx.doi.org/10.15517/lank.v21i1.45877.

A new species of the genus Pseudolepanthes discovered in Carchi province, northwest Ecuador, is described here. The new species is compared with P. zunagensis from which it is distinguished by a longer inflorescence with successive vinaceous or pale-yellow flowers, an elongate arcuate column, and a lip with an erect, thick, widely rectangular central callus.

Keywords : Dracula Reserve; EcoMinga; Trichosalpinx; Trichosalpinx pseudolepanthes.
