Lophostachys guatemalensis Donnell Smith is recorded for the first time from Mexico. The species was collected in several localities of tropical semi-evergreen forest from the coast of the state of Oaxaca. The specimens found here have flower characters and capsules somewhat longer than those previously described for the species. Because they show a noteworthy disjunction, a new variety, L. guatemalensis var. chontalensis S. Acosta Castellanos & A. Saynes V., is proposed for the Oaxacan populations.
