A new species from central Amazonia, Chromolucuma brevipedicellata (Sapotaceae, Chrysophylloideae) is described and illustrated. It occurs in terra firme (non-flooded) forests near Manaus, Brazil. We compare C. brevipedicellata to similar species in terms of diagnostic morphology, as well as near-infrared spectral differences of the leaves, and provide, an identification key for its distinction. Although the new species is common in the permanent plots of the Área de Relevante Interesse Ecológico Projeto Dinâmica Biológica de Fragmentos Florestais, it has a narrow distribution and is assessed as being endangered following criteria of the IUCN Red List.

描述并举例说明了来自亚马逊河中部的一个新物种，即短小Chromolucuma brevipedicellata（Sapotaceae，Chrysophylloideae）。它发生在巴西马瑙斯附近的坚硬（非淹没）森林中。我们在诊断形态学以及叶片的近红外光谱差异方面将短小隐孢子虫与相似物种进行了比较，并为其区别提供了一个识别关键。尽管该新物种在阿里亚德·雷利凡特国际贸易展览中心的永久性土地上很常见，但它的分布范围很窄，并且根据《自然保护联盟红色名录》的标准被评估为濒危物种。
