Characterized by short-creeping stems, 1-pinnate-pinnatifid leaves, conform blade apices, free veins, the lowermost veins of adjacent segments connivent at the sinuses, proliferous buds (sometimes plantlets) present distally on the blades, and indumentum typically of minute forked or stellate hairs. Sori round, indusiate, the indusia densely pilose. The most similar species in the area are Goniopteris vivipara (Raddi) Brade and G. lugubris (Mett.) Brade. The first differs by less incised pinnae (nearly entire vs incised ca 1/3–2/3), whereas the second differs by pinnatifid blade apices (vs conform blade apices in G. paranaensis ). Distribution and habitat. Endemic to Brazil , occurring only in São Paulo and Paraná . Terrestrial in forests. Order Polypodiales (suborder Polypodiineae Dumort. ), Didymochlaenaceae Ching ex Li Bing Zhang & Liang Zhang
