Fern J. 96(1): 41, f. 6. 2006. Range: — Peru and Bolivia (CO, LP). Ecology: —Locally common; terrestrial in humid forests and ravines; 1000–2000 m . Notes: —Differs from M. subincisum by paler, more translucent, broader costal and costular scales (0.2–4.5 × 0.1– 0.8 mm vs . 0.1–3 × 0.05–0.3 mm ). Also tends to be smaller and to have blunter ultimate segments than M. subincisum . The proximal pinnae of M. rupicola typically are slightly falcate.
