Type:—not designated and no specimens cited. Neotype [designated by Glassman (1972: 20) as “type”, here corrected]:—Illustration in Barbosa Rodrigues (1903b: Tab. 80B) .

= Astrocaryum tucuma .

Notes:—In his original publication of Astrocaryum princeps var. sulphureum, Barbosa Rodrigues (1888) did not designate a type or cite any other original material. However, in a later work, Barbosa Rodrigues (1903b) included an illustration of this variety ( Fig. 6 ), which was designated as the “type” by Glassman (1972). We recognize this illustration as a neotype following the guidelines outlined by Turland et al. (2018).
