Here we designate specimen no. 10424 from the Museu Nacional (R) as the lectotype of Palicourea rudgeoides (Müll. Arg.) Standl.[Psychotria rudgeoides Müll. Arg., basion.], and assign a new synonym for Palicourea fulgens (Müll. Arg.) Standl., Psychotria exannulata Müll. Arg., based on specimen no. 607125 from the Field Museum of Natural History (F).
