| Summary: | New taxa of the Lonchocarpus genus from Mexico and Mesoamerica (Leguminosae, Papilionoideae, Millettieae) are described and illustrated. Of the 19 recognized species, eight species: L. brenesii, L. isthmensis, L. latimarginatus, L. michoacanicus, L. pedunculatus, L. plicatus, L. subsessilifolius and L. wendtii, and a new subspecies of L. brenesii, subsp. vulcanicola, are new to science.
