ABSTRACT

The Guatteria group (Annonaceae) consists of four genera: Guatteria, Guatteriopsis, Guatteriella, and Heteropetalum. Morphological data have for long suggested a close affinity between these genera. Recent phylogenetic analysis has shown that Guatteriopsis, Guatteriella as well as Heteropetalum are actually nested within Guatteria. Here the nomenclatural consequences following from these results are presented. Three new combinations and one new name are introduced for Guatteriopsis and one old name is reinstated, one new combination and one new name is proposed for Guatteriella, and one old combination is reinstated for Heteropetalum. With the transference of the species of these three genera into Guatteria the concept of the Guatteria group is put out of use.

Key words:
synonymy; new combinations; new names; reinstatement of old names

RESUMO

O grupo Guatteria (Annonaceae) consiste de quatro gêneros: Guatteria, Guatteriopsis, Guatteriella e Heteropetalum. A afinidade entre estes quatro gêneros manteve-se aceita por longo tempo, com base em dados morfológicos. Entretanto, uma recente análise filogenética demonstra que Guatteriopsis, Guatteriella e Heteropetalum encontram-se circunscritos em Guatteria. As conseqüências nomenclaturais dos resultados filogenéticos obtidos são apresentadas neste trabalho. São propostas três combinações novas e um nome novo em Guatteriopsis, enquanto um nome antigo é restabelecido. Uma nova combinação e um novo nome são propostos em Guatteriella e uma combinação antiga é restabelecida em Heteropetalum. Com a transferência das espécies destes três gêneros para Guatteria, o conceito de grupo Guatteria não é mais necessário.
