ABSTRACT
The genus Centroglossa consists of six species, all endemic to the Atlantic Forest in southern and southeastern Brazil. It was known to occur in the State of Paraná based on three specimens of C. tripollinica collected by the Swedish botanist Per Karl Hjalmar Dusén at the beginning of last century. During recent fieldwork in Brazil, this species was rediscovered in Paraná. The aim of this article is to confirm the presence of C. tripollinica in the State of Paraná, provide a detailed description and illustrations of this species, and discuss its conservation status. A lectotype is designated for C. tripollinica.
