Abstract
Aphanactis is redelimited to contain only the Andrean species with reduced limbs on the ray corollas and peduncles that elongate at or after anthesis. Four species are described as new, A. antisanensis, A. barclayae, A. boliviana, and A. ollgaardii. Two species previously described in Aphanactis, A. macdonaldii and A. ligulata, are transferred to Selloa.
