Abstract

Based on extensive studies of grammitid ferns (Polypodiaceae) in the field and as specimens in various herbaria, eleven new species in the genus Melpomene are recognized from the Neotropics: Melpomene albicans, M. caput-gorgonis, M. flagellata, M. huancabambensis, M. jimenezii, M. michaelis, M. occidentalis, M. paradoxa, M. personata, M. sklenarii, and M. vulcanica. All are restricted to the Andes except for M. personata, which also extends to Mesoamerica and the Caribbean. The morphology and distribution of all species are illustrated.
