Lepidaploa scintillans is described as a new species from the Minas Gerais State in southeastern Brazil. This new species can be easily distinguished from other Lepidaploa species by the sericeous, nacreous-argent indumentum of both leaf surfaces and by the subpaleaceous outer pappus, which are unusual features in this genus.
