Four species that have been variously included by previous authors in the genera Sida or Pseudabutilon are segregated as the distinct genus, Allosidastrum (Hochr.) stat. nov. A .,dolichophyllum from Venezuela is described as new. The most widespread species is A . pyramidatum (Cav.) comb. nov., which occurs over most of the range of the genus from Mexico and the West Indies to parts of Brazil and Bolivia. The other two species, A. hilarianum (Presl) comb. nov. and A. interruptum (DC.) comb. nov., are found in Mexico, Central America, and Colombia.
