Abstract

A new species of Telipogon (Orchidaceae, Oncidiinae) from Cusco, in Andean Peru, is described and illustrated. Telipogon koechlinorum is closely related to T. casadevalliae. The most significant differences are the clavate column with an elongate and incurved mentum, and a callus split in two by the column.
