Abstract
Genus Coltricia is re-evaluated in Brazil and 10 species are accepted, namely C. barbata, C. cinnamomea, C. duportii, C. focicola, C. globispora, C. hamata, C. montagnei, C. perennis, C. permollis and C. velutina. Coltricia focicola and C. montagnei are reported respectively for the first time from South America and Brazil. Coltricia permollis and C. velutina are described as new species. Description of the new species, illustrations and a key to species of Coltricia known from the Neotropics are provided. The current knowledge of the genus in Brazil is discussed.
