Abstract

Ceriporia angulata and Dichomitus amazonicus are described and illustrated as new species based on specimens collected in Reserva Ducke, in the state of Amazonas. Dichomitus ecuadoriensis is reported as new to Brazil and D. cavernulosus is a new record for the states of Amazonas, Rondônia and Roraima. Ceriporia spissa is a new record for the Brazilian Amazonia. Descriptions and illustrations of the new species, and keys to species of Ceriporia and Dichomitus known for the Neotropics are provided.
