          Abstract

          Three new species of the genus Senecio (Asteraceae, Senecioneae) belonging to Senecio ser. Suffruticosi subser. Caespitosi were discovered in the tributaries of the upper Tambo River, Moquegua Department, South Peru. Descriptions, diagnoses and discussions about their distribution, a table with the morphological similarities with other species of Senecio, a distribution map, conservation status assessments, and a key to the caespitose Peruvian species of Senecio subser. Caespitosi are provided. The new species are Senecio moqueguensis Montesinos, sp. nov. (Critically Endangered) which most closely resembles Senecio pucapampaensis Beltrán, Senecio sykorae Montesinos, sp. nov. (Critically Endangered) which most closely resembles Senecio gamolepis Cabrera, and Senecio tassaensis Montesinos, sp. nov. (Critically Endangered) which most closely resembles Senecio moqueguensis Montesinos.

Las especies se describen y tipifican, una diagnosis y discusión acerca de su distribución, una tabla con las similitudes morfológicas con otras especies de Senecio, un mapa de distribución, el estatus de conservación y una clave para las especies peruanas cespitosas de Senecio subser. Caespitosi son presentadas. Las nuevas especies son Senecio moqueguensis Montesinos, sp. nov. (En Peligro Crítico) el cual se asemeja más a Senecio pucapampaensis Beltrán, Senecio sykorae Montesinos, sp. nov.
