Abstract:—A review of 13 species in two closely allied genera of Bromeliaceae, Abromeitiella Mez and Deuterocohnia Mez, reveals a lack of sufficiently distinct characters to warrant their separate generic ranks. Abromeitiella is therefore reduced into synonymy under Deuterocohnia which has priority, and new combinations for its 4 species are made. The generic description of Deuterocohnia is emended and a key to the genus is provided.
