The mistletoe Phoradendron breedlovei Kuijt (family Viscaceae) has only been reported from two locations in Chiapas, Mexico (1). We observed this mistletoe parasitizing Quercus salicifolia Nee approximately 4 km east of La Esperanza, Department Intibuca, Honduras, at an elevation of 1,160 m. Several trees were severely infected, and some mortality appeared to be associated with severe infection. J. Kuijt, University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, confirmed our identification of the mistletoe. Specimens of P. breedlovei from Honduras have been deposited at the Herbario, Escuela Nacional de Ciencias Forestales, Siguatepeque, Honduras, and at the University of Victoria. To our knowledge, this is the first report of P. breedlovei from Honduras and extends the range of this mistletoe approximately 500 km to the east-southeast of Chiapas. To our knowledge, it is also the first report of this mistletoe on Q. salicifolia. Reference: (1) J. Kuijt. Proc. K. Ned. Akad. Wet. 93:113, 1990.
