Discusión taxonómica
Polypodium eperopeutes is distinct by the usually regular vein anastomoses, glabrous rhizome scales, and glabrous blades.
We now regard most of the specimens originally cited under P. eperopeutes (Mickel & Beitel, 1988) as P. longepinnulatum; they were mistakenly placed under P. eperopeutes because of the variable character of net venation. Net venation is apparently more frequent in larger specimens of P. longepinnulatum than previously thought.
