Abstract
Heppia adglutinata and Lempholemma intricatum are recorded as new to South America from the Andes in Ecuador. A further specimen of "Collema" paramense is recorded from paramos at above 4000m.
It has shorter, more cuboid spores than the type specimen, confirming its relationship with Collema ceraniscum which recently has been transferred to the genus Rostania. The Andean species is thus better named Rostania paramensis (P.M.Jorg. & Palice), comb. nov.
