Abstract:—A new bromeliad species of the genus Catopsis Mez is described in this work. This species is recognized as endemic from Cañon del Sumidero National Park, Chiapas, Mexico. The main character of the new species is its stoloniferous/ rupicolous habit, being similar in size and rosette shape to Catopsis morreniana; it differs from the latter species by its monoecious plants, with slender, simple or once-branched inflorescences.
