Abstract
Recent field expeditions in Campo Rupestre in northern Minas Gerais have been carried out and led to the collection of Hypenia with unusual morphology. After detailed morphological and taxonomic analysis we propose it as a new species of Hypenia based on morphological evidence. We described, illustrated, and the affinities between the most similar species are discussed.
