Sleumer, together with four new species, S. angustiflora Hislop & Puente-Lel., S. cernua Hislop & Puente-Lel., S. disjuncta Hislop & Puente-Lel. and S. sulcata Hislop & Puente-Lel. A seventh member of the group, S. longissima Hislop & Puente-Lel., was described in a recent paper and is not treated again here. The morphological attributes of the group are outlined and a key to species provided.
