Abstract
Abstract: F. W. Domke described three Senecio species (Compositae, Senecioneae) from Ecuador on the basis of Diels's collections. Since the type material at B was apparently destroyed in 1943, the names Senecio angelensis, S. dielsii and S. tipocochensis are neotypified. The nomenclature of each taxonomic entity is updated, and new synonyms are provided for the first time. A lectotype for the name S. sotarensis is also designated. Taxonomic notes are provided when appropriate. Citation: Calvo J. 2017: Neotypifications and new synonyms of the Ecuadorian Senecio (Compositae, Senecioneae) species described by F. W.

Highlights
Domke (1899 – 1988) described three species of Senecio L. from Ecuador based on material collected by his compatriot F
This expedition resulted in his work Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Vegetation und Flora von Ecuador (Diels 1937), which includes the new Senecio species authored by Domke (i.e. S. angelensis, S. dielsii and S. tipocochensis)
The specimen P 01816547 is designated as the neotype of the name Senecio angelensis, which thereby becomes a heterotypic synonym of Dendrophorbium sotarense (Hieron.) C
Summary
Diels (1874 – 1945), who undertook a journey to Ecuador during July – September 1933 (Acosta-Solís 1982) This expedition resulted in his work Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Vegetation und Flora von Ecuador (Diels 1937), which includes the new Senecio species authored by Domke (i.e. S_angelensis, S. dielsii and S. tipocochensis). (2016) in their Catalogue of the plants and lichens of Colombia, whereas it was not mentioned in the treatment of Dendrophorbium proposed by Díaz-Piedrahita & Cuatrecasas (1999), which represents the most complete survey of the Colombian species so far These examples highlight the need to firmly settle the application of three names that, despite uncertainty on their exact identity, are currently used and have been accepted by botanists working on the Compositae of the N Andes. As a result of this nomenclatural action, new synonyms are provided for the first time
