“…Novelties were found mainly in tropical in subtropical regions and numerous new names, for example Dichaea amazonica Pupulin, Epidendrum brevicallosum Hágsater & E. Santiago, were published based on single specimen. By examination of numerous Pterichis from various geographical regions ( Kolanowska & Olędrzyńska, 2015 ; Kolanowska & Szlachetko, 2017 ) we were able to recognize the diagnostic characters of this genus representatives and only these taxonomically important traits were used to describe new species.…”

A taxonomic synopsis of the orchid genus Pterichis in Ecuador is presented. All national representatives of this genus are characterized and their floral segments are illustrated. Four new species and two new varieties are described. An updated key to Ecuadorian Pterichis is provided. Plants of the genus are growing mostly as terrestrial herbs at the altitude of 2,300–4,110 m. Often two or more species co-occur in the area of 25 × 25 km. Their occurrence was reported from three ecoregions—the Eastern Cordillera real montane forests, the Northern Andean páramo and the Northwestern Andean montane forests. Seven Ecuadorian Pterichis are endemic.
