A new species from Venezuela, Matelea gilbertoana (Apocynaceae, Asclepiadoideae, Gonolobinae), is described and illustrated. The species has affinities to the ocellate complex in Matelea s. 1., but is easily distinguished by its involute corolla lobes. A key to identify the continental species of the ocellate complex is provided.
