The taxonomy of the Agave kerchovei complex in the states of Puebla and Oaxaca is revisited, analyzed, and discussed, and the status of the names considered to be synonyms is explored and discussed. The status of names synonymized with A. kerchovei (A. convallis, A. dissimulans) is discussed considering new field data from the type localities, with the confirmation of A. convallis as a species as put forth by Garcia-Mendoza and reinstatement of A. dissimulans as a recognized species.
