Abstract
Two morphologically and ecologically distinctive, woody Hybanthus spec ies from Central America are described, illustrated, and mapped. Hyban thus denticulatus inhabits lowland rainforest from northern Nicaragua to eastern Panama and is allied to Mexican and Guatemalan H. elatus. H ybanthus hespericlivus is restricted to mid-elevation forest on the we stern mountain slopes of northern Costa Pica and resembles Panamanian H. jefensis and northern Mesoamerican H. sylvicola. A key to Central A merican species of Hybanthus is provided.
