Myriopteris yatskievychiana is a small fern endemic to the Mexican state of Sonora, a member of the family Pteridaceae.

While superficially similar to golden lip fern, a widespread species in Mexico, differences in its coating of hairs and its small size make it distinctive.

[1] On fertile fronds, the sori are protected by false indusia formed by the edge of the leaf curling back over the underside.

[1] Myriopteris yatskievychiana closely resembles Myriopteris aurea, the golden lip fern, in general appearance, but the latter is much larger, with fronds up to 75 centimeters (30 in) long, and bears rusty, tangled hairs on the underside of the leaf, and curved, glandular hairs on the stipe and rachis.

Convergent evolution in arid environments is thought to be responsible for widespread homoplasy in the morphological characters traditionally used to classify it and the segregate genera that have sometimes been recognized.

On the basis of molecular evidence, Amanda Grusz and Michael D. Windham revived the genus Myriopteris in 2013 for a group of species formerly placed in Cheilanthes.
