SUMMARY A new species, Erythroglossum latum , is described based on specimens from Fukushima Prefecture along the east coast of Honshu, Japan. This species differs from Erythroglossum pinnatum Okamura in having a broader main blade, a clear midrib and lateral branches that are smaller in size and not clearly constricted at the base.
