A new species of Acianthera, A. lueri, is described and illustrated based on material collected in the Amazon region of Peru. The combination of the glabrous ovary, 3-lobed lip, and long-tailed petals distinguish A. lueri from similar A. lanceana. The new taxon is placed within the key to identification of species reported from the Peruvian Amazon region.
