A new species, Doritis natmataungensis T. Yukawa, Nb. Tanaka & J. Murata (Orchidaceae) is described from Myanmar. It is easily distinguished from the closely related Doritis stobartiana (Rchb. f.) T. Yukawa & K. Kita by the following combination of characters: 1) mottled sepals and petals; 2) differently shaped ridge of lateral lobes of labellum; 3) broadly obovate midlobe of labellum; and 4) thick, exserted ridge of midlobe of labellum.
