The neotropical myrmecophilous genus Smilax is revised and a new species, Smilax deneinephyto Chatzimanolis is described from southern Brazil. Lectotypes are designated for Smilax cyanea Wasmann and Staphylinus pilosus Fabricius. Smilax cyanea is shown to be a junior synonym of Smilax pilosa. A key and illustration of morphological features are provided for the identification of taxa. The types of the two species of Smilax were not available for study even though they are deposited in public museums.
对新热带区蚁栖菝葜属植物进行了修订，并描述了一个新物种——来自巴西南部的德内菲托菝葜（Smilax deneinephyto Chatzimanolis）。为菝葜蓝（Smilax cyanea Wasmann）和毛拟隐翅虫（Staphylinus pilosus Fabricius）指定了选模式。菝葜蓝被证明是柔毛菝葜（Smilax pilosa）的次异名。提供了一个用于鉴定分类群的形态特征检索表和插图。尽管菝葜属这两个物种的模式标本保存在公共博物馆中，但无法获取用于研究。
