New records of Pteris (Pteridaceae) from the Neotropics

As a result of studies on neotropical Pteris L., we report new records of Pteris albertiae and P. longifolia from Costa Rica; P. longipetiolulata from Costa Rica, Panama, Peru, Bolivia, and Venezuela; and P. muricatopedata from Mexico and Guatemala. The expanded distribution range and addition of species to biodiversity lists provide relevant information about the ecology and taxonomy of the species.
