Abstract
As a result of a taxonomic survey of the Gaylussacia Kunth, a new species is described, Gaylussacia paranaensis G.O. Romão & Kinoshita. And a new combination for Gaultheria L., Gaultheria corvensis (R.R. Silva & Cervi) G.O. Romão & Kinoshita is proposed, based on Gaylussacia corvensis.

Gaylussacia paranaensis is found in Antonina municipality, Paraná state, and characterized by elliptic leaves, margin regularly serrulate to serrate and apical gland on the bract, while Gaultheria corvensis is found in Serra do Corvo Branco, Grão Pará municipality, Santa Catarina state.
