Aylostera iscayachensis (Rausch) Mosti & Papini


Regarded by some as yet another form of Aylostera pygmaea. Found to be distinct enough to be given specific status by Mosti & Papini (2011). Rausch describes the main difference between this and A. pygmaea as being the large red flower and the bullet-shaped bodies with a strong reddish colour.
