Calathea maasiorum from French Guiana and Surinam is described as new. It belongs to Calathea section Breviscapus Bentham. The foliage is patterned with a light green band along the midrib above. This new species has previously been confused with C. cyclophora Baker from Amazonian Colombia, Brazil, Venezuela, and Guyana but it is distinguished from C. cyclophora by the absence of bracteoles, the elliptic to obovate leaf blade, and shorter (1-2 cm long) bracts.
