We document Lepidoblepharis conolepis from El Cielito, Carchi province, northern Ecuador. This record, the first record for Carchi province, represents a northward range extension of 90 km from the previously known occurences. All known occurrences of L. conolepis , including our new record, are restricted to the western slopes of the Ecuadorian Andes at sites within fragmented natural forest habitats.
