Scelochilus schmidt-mummii, a new orchid species, is described and illustrated based on Colombian material. It is similar to S. tuerckheimii and S. stenochilus, but differs from both taxa, especially in the shape of the lip hypochile and epichile and the form of the lip appendages. A key to the identification of Colombian Scelochilus species is provided.
