Diapedium aripoense Britton Dicliptera aripoensis is a species of plant in the family Acanthaceae which is endemic to Trinidad and Tobago.

It is a branching shrub, 1–1.5 m tall with red flowers about 3 cm long.

[3] The species was described as Diapedium aripoense by American botanist Nathaniel Lord Britton in 1926, based on a collection made by Walter Elias Broadway in 1922.

[3] American botanist Emery Clarence Leonard transferred the species to the genus Dicliptera in 1954.

[2] Although Dicliptera aripoensis is not listed in the IUCN Red List the authors of a 2008 assessment of the endemic plant species of Trinidad and Tobago considered it a critically endangered because it is known from only a single locality, and this area is shrinking or experiencing habitat degradation.
