Popis:	Ampelozizyphus guaquirensis, native to the central portion of the Coastal Cordillera of Venezuela, is newly described and illustrated. It differs from the only other species in the genus, A. amazonicus, in its arborescent (vs. lianoid) habit, subsessile (vs. pedunculate) inflorescence, deciduous (vs. persistent) calyx lobes in fruit, and presence (vs. absence) of nectaries at the base of the leaf blades. Ampelozizyphus is now a prime example of the disjunct distribution of closely related species between Amazonia and the Coastal Cordillera of Venezuela.
