Larnax nieva S. Leiva & N. W. Sawyer (2003: 106)

Lectotype (designated here):—Leiva González & Lezama Asencio, Arnaldoa 10(1): 108. Fig. 1. 2003 .

Additional material examined: — PERU. Amazonas: Bongará, km 384 carretera Nueva Cajamarca-Pomacochas (Florida), borde de camino y puente de Río Nieva, 2086 m, 5°41’05.3’’S 77°46’54.6’’W, 21 July 2012 (fl, fr), Deanna & Leiva 43 (CORD 00006787!, HAO!; Fig. 14 G–J).

This lectotypification is due to the fact that the duplicates were not distributed prior to the HAO fire and so were destroyed at the same time as the holotype. The lectotype designated here is the illustration in the protologue (art. 9.12, ICN 2012), Fig. 14F, which is of high quality and allow the species to be identified unambiguously.
