description Otoba is the third largest genus of Myristicaceae in the Neotropics with 12 species, nine of them native to Colombia. Two new species from the department of Antioquia, O.scottmoriisp. nov. and O.squamosasp. nov., are described and illustrated. Otobascottmorii occurs in humid, lowland forests, while O.squamosa occurs in premontane forest. Previously, Otobascottmorii was confused with O.acuminata (which here is considered restricted to Costa Rica and Panama), while O.squamosa was confused with O.gordoniifolia. The similarities and differences between these and other species are discussed.
