Abstract

Abstract Chamaedorea glaucifolia, previously thought to be distributed in the Depresion Central de Chiapas and the adjacent Sierra Norte, is reported for the first time in southern Veracruz State in an evergreen tropical rain forest of the Uxpanapa region. It has also been found in the Sierra Madre del Sur, Chiapas, thus extending its range considerably. Chamaedorea tuerckheimii, previously known only from Guatemala and the Los Tuxtla region of Veracruz, was found in the northern mountain ranges of Chiapas and extending its range to a locality in the southern mountains of Tabasco bordering Chiapas. Notes on habitat and distribution are presented, as well as a “Critically Endangered” Red List Category (C1a) recommendation for C. tuerckheimii.
