Abstract:—Recently the genus Cipuropsis (Vrieseeae) was resurrected in the revision of the Tillandsioideae by Barfuss et al. (2016) as a monotypic genus containing only the type species, Cipuropsis subandina Ule (1907). No species were transferred to the genus by Barfuss et al., mainly because this species could not be included in the study because the type could not be investigated phylogenetically, it is not in cultivation and known from the type collection and a few additional collections only.
