Macroclinium larenseis related to M. borjaensebut is readily diagnosed by its wider isthmus, which is about as long as
broad whereas it is conspicuously narrower in M. borjaense; furthermore, sizes and proportions of other floral organs are
also different. The new species is only known from the Yacambú National Park in Lara state. An identification key and a
