The neotropical tribe Clusieae contains six genera including Dystovomita and Tovomita. Material from the Ducke Reserve (Manaus), determined as Dystovomita brasiliensis, had been used in a recent phylogenetic study and was shown to be nested in Tovomita, leaving some doubt as to its determination. Having examined various types of Dystovomita brasiliensis we confirm the identity of the specimens from the Ducke Reserve and here accommodate the species within Tovomita as Tovomita hopkinsii. Illustrations, distribution map, an expanded description, and a discussion about the most closely related species of Tovomita are provided.
