Abstract

A new species of the orchid genus Telipogon, T. diabolicus, is described and illustrated. The information about its habitat is provided. The novelty resembles T. tabanensis and T. guacamayensis and it is characterized by the translucent flowers, the glabrous, distinctly clawed petals, the transversely elliptic lip, and the gynostemium ornamented with long setose hairs on both sides and shorter hairs at the apex.
