Abstract

Here we report the new species Telipogon huancavelicanus and provide updates to the description of T. deuterocuscoensis. Telipogon huancavelicanus is similar to T. bennettii but differs by the oblanceolate petals, a basally subpandurate labelum with two divergent auriculae, and column with three dense tuffs of subtubular setae with ramified apices. Illustrations, habitat information and distribution are provided for both miniature Telipogon species. Additional comments on other miniature Telipogon species are also provided.
