Based on phylogenies generated using morphological and molecular data, Deprea glabra and D. sylvarum are transferred to Larnax, and a new subspecies, L. sylvarum subsp. novogranatensis, is described. Four new species are described and illustrated: Larnax cuyacensis from Peru, similar to L. glabra and L. sylvarum, but with a rotate, fleshier corolla much lighter in color, and a fruiting calyx tightly appressed to the berry; L. grandiflora from Peru, intermediate between L. andersonii and L. sachapapa; L. parviflora from Peru, similar to L. psilophyta of Ecuador, but differing in vegetative and reproductive characters and having the smallest flowers in the genus; and L. darcyana from Colombia, similar to L. subtriflora of Peru, but differing vegetatively and with much shorter, non-branching hairs, a smaller corolla, shorter filaments, and apiculate anthers. Keys are provided for selected genera and for Larnax. In addition, some synonymies are noted.
