Abstract
A new species of Nasaser.Alatae (Urban & Gilg) Weigend from Northern Peru is described and illustrated. Nasakatjaesp. nov. was at first encountered by an observation on iNaturalist and subsequently collected in the humid Andean forests near Colasay in the province of Jaén (Cajamarca, Peru). Whilst comparing the new species with closely related Nasaloxensis (Kunth) Weigend, a taxon widespread in Southern Ecuador (and tentatively adjacent Peru), a reevaluation of the status of earlier synonymized Loasacalycina Benth. became necessary. Consequently, Nasacalycinacomb. nov. is rehabilitated at species level and Nasaloxensis is redefined.
