Pabstiella varellae, previously described as Pleurothallis mouraeoides var. riograndensis, is recognized as a new species. It is described and illustrated herein. Lectotypes are selected for Pleurothallis campestris and P. pfisteri. Illustrations and updated synonymy lists are provided for the taxa treated in the article.
