Resumen:
Rupichloa, a new genus of Paniceae, restricted to Bahia and Minas Gerais, Brazil, and including two species: R. acuminata and R. decidua are here described. Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequence data from plastid rpl16 and ndhF indicate that both species do not belong to Urochloa, genus in which they were previously placed. Also, morphological characters are analyzed in relation with Urochloa. Hence, Rupichloa was established on the basis of morphological and molecular characters. Additionally, affinities of the new genus with other genera of the Paniceae are also discussed.
