Discusión taxonómica
(In relation to the synonym Terpsichore delicatula) The dense glandular hairs of the blades, stipes, and rhizome scales easily distinguish T. delicatula. The closest relative is T. subscabra (Klotzsch) B. León & A. R. Sm. [syn.: T. jamesonioides (Fée) A. R. Sm.], from Costa Rica to Peru, which differs in lacking reddish setae on the blades.A
