Abstract

A monographic treatment was published about the genus Deppea Cham. et Schltdl. including the genus Edithea Standl. and several new species modifying the original generic concept and description creating a polyphyletic complex. The authors discuss the broad generic concept of the treatment revalidating the genus Edithea Standl. describing the Edithea floribunda subsp. leuconeura subsp. nova, with the inclusion of Deppea miahuatlanica Lorence as Edithea miahuatlanica (Lorence) Borhidi comb. nova. The authors suggest the exclusion of Deppea panamensis Dwyer maintaining the description and delimitation of the entomophilous Deppea in its original, classic sense, and the separation of the obviously different ornithophilous Omiltemia (Deppea) scoti Kirkbr. and Deppea splendens Breedlove and Lorence into two monotypic genera: Bellizinca scoti and Csapodya splendens.
