ABSTRACT We report the occurrence of Tapanhuacanga campinorum in the Parque Estadual do Cristalino, in the State of Mato Grosso, Central-West Brazil. This represents the first record of the genus in this State and the species in this region of the country, since T. campinorum was known only from the Amazonian campinas vegetation in the States of Amazonas and Pará, in the northern region of Brazil. We further comment on the distribution, conservation, and taxonomic aspects of this species.
