** Cryptothecia groenhartii Makhija & Patw.

So far this species has been sighted in India ( Makhija & Patwardhan 1994).

Our material perfectly matches the morphological and chemical characteristics of the species, therefore, despite the long distance from the previous record, we also report it from Bolivia.

Specimens examined. BOLIVIA. Dept. Santa Cruz: Prov. Cordillera, KAA-IYA, Bañados del Izozog, near Río Parapeti, 18º28’40”S, 62º05’03”W, 320 m, Ribereño forest, on bark, 2 December 2010, AF 18869 & IQ (KRAM, LPB).
