Dalton :
Muito obrigado for sharing the info (from Icones Pleurothallidinarum XXV - Systematics of Masdevallia, part 5) about the Masdevallia species about which Jay posted a query.
I added the references you provided (to my checklist of Colombian species) for the following species :
Masdevallia corniculata Masdevallia hercules Masdevallia racemosa
