Argyrochosma formosa is a fern known from eastern and central Mexico and Guatemala. It grows on rocky slopes, particularly on limestone. Unlike many members of the genus, it lacks white powder on the underside of its leaves. First described as a species in 1842, it was transferred to the new genus Argyrochosma in 1987.
Argyrochosma formosa is distributed from the northernmost provinces of Mexico through eastern and central Mexico to Chiapas and into Guatemala.
