Two new species are described in this work, Cyperus longiculmis and C. valiae. Cyperus longiculmis is similar to C. megapotamicus and C. niederleinianus, and Cyperus valiae resembles C. megapotamicus. Here, we present detailed descriptions for these new species, along with illustrations, risk assessment, distribution and habitat, phenology, and comparisons with morphologically similar species. We also provide a key for the species of Cyperus subg. Pycreus for the Central-West and Southeast regions of Brazil.
