Taxonomic features of Panicum discrepans , previously classified in subg. Agrostoides , sect. Discrepantia of Panicum , are reviewed and compared with other taxa in Paniceae. The new genus Cyphonanthus is proposed on the basis of morphological and molecular characters to include a species distributed from the Caribbean and Mesoamerica to Brazil and Bolivia. Affinities of the new genus with other genera of Paniceae are also discussed.
