Abstract
Field investigation in different localities in the Brazilian Amazon Forest reveals two new species of Cyathus: C. pallidistipitatus and C. macauanensis. In addition, a second record for science and the first record for South America and Amazonia of C. tenuicorticalis is proposed. Based on morphological and molecular data, the new taxa were described, and the phylogenetic positioning of both new species was discussed. Comparative analyses with related taxa and a detailed discussion of the new record and the new species are provided.
