In order to move towards an accurate delimitation of Monticalia and its morphologically closest genera, the following names are transferred to Monticalia : Pentacalia chimborazensis , Senecio aclydiphyllus , S. miniauritus and S. pleniauritus . The four species thrive in the highlands of the central Andes and were hitherto treated under the genus Pentacalia . Monticalia miniaurita comb. nov. is recorded in Ecuador for the first time.
