Stelis parvula Lindl.? from Guatemala - Orchid Board

Hi,

I found this Stelis at 1,800 meters in the cloud forest Biotopo del Quetzal, Baja Verapaz in Guatemala. The closest I can get is the Stelis parvula Lindl., which looks to be a rather variable species.

However, I'm far from sure that I got it keyed out correctly. Hope that somebody should be familiar with Stelis.

The machine I'm on at the moment wont open the pic but the pointedness makes me think S. Pardipes, which I have here

ID Problem solved.
According to Fredy Archila, Cobán, Guatemala this species is a Stelis hymenantha Schltr.

Thank's for your great help Fredy!
