A new species from Venezuela, Encyclia lopezii, is proposed. Encyclia lopezii is similar to E. cordigeraand both species share the large flowers, the broad, suborbicular-subquadrate labellum central lobe, and the obovate to spathulate petals. Encyclia lopezii is, however, different from E. cordigera in several characters, including the subapically winged column with straight margins, the verrucose pedicellate ovary, and the fact that the apices of the lateral lobes of the lip do not overlap on top of the column at anthesis. The new species is fully illustrated and described. Encyclia cordigeraand an Andean form of E. diurnaare also documented with illustrations and discussed in the context of the relationships of the new species here proposed. A conservation assessment of Encyclia lopeziiis provided following the IUCN criteria.
