Mandevilla athenastigma, endemic to inselbergs around Milagres in Bahia, Brazil is described. It resembles M. sancta (Stadelm.) Woodson, but is distinguished by its smaller corolla tube, larger anthers, and puberulent seeds. An illustration, color plates, a distribution map for the new species are included, and a key to the species of Mandevilla growing on inselbergs in northeastern Brazil is provided. A brief overview of the diversity of Mandevilla is given.
