“…There are 20 recorded species of Tovomita in Venezuela (see Appendix 1 in Marinho 2019). Although the number of recently described Tovomita species is relatively high, much more remains to be done, given that each new investigation of representative Amazonian collections reveals many potentially undescribed taxa (Frazão and Lohmann 2018;Toledo and Souza 2018;Huamantupa-Chuquimaco et al 2019;Melo et al 2019), including the Venezuelan Amazon (Cabral et al 2016(Cabral et al , 2018Marinho et al 2016aMarinho et al , 2019Nascimento Jr. et al 2019). In the treatment of Tovomita in the Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana, Cuello (1998) defined at least six distinct morphotypes that did not match any previously described species.…”

ABSTRACT Although the number of recently described Tovomita species is relatively high, much more remains to be done, given that each new survey of representative Amazonian collections reveals many potentially undescribed taxa. In the treatment for Tovomita published in Flora of the Venezuelan Guayana, at least six distinct morphotypes did not match any previously described species. Here we recognize morphotype “D” as a new endemic species from Cerro de la Neblina. Additionally, we provide an identification key to the Tovomita species in Venezuela.
