The genus Ameroglossum was known only from A. pernambucense, a species found on inselbergs in the states of Paraiba and Pernambuco, Brazil. Ameroglossum manoel-felixii, a new species of Ameroglossum, is described and illustrated here, and morphologically compared with A. pernambucense. Information about the geographic distribution of the new species and karyotypic comparisons of both species using CMA/DAPI banding and nuclear DNA content are also presented.
