| abstract | Recent taxonomical research оп the genus Hermannia (Nicolet) 1855 has shown, that this genus has to Ье subdivided into а gibba-group (genus Hermannia s. str.) and into а nodosa/subglabra-group. This subdivision is done in accordance to the remarks of van der Hammen (1959). As the taxonomical characters of the species of the nodosa/subglabra-group аrе fairly different, additional subdivision of this group into а nodosa- and into а subglabra-group is necessary. А short description of the taxonomical data of the nodosa/subglabra-group, the nodosa-group, the subglabra-group and of three new species (Hermannia schusteri nov. spec., Hermannia intermedia nov. spec., Hermannia minuta nov. spec.) is given, all of which аге belonging to the subglabra-group. |
