Abstract :

We report 19 species of Myxomycetes for first time in Peru. Macbrideola spinispora L.M. Walker, G. Moreno & S.L. Stephenson, previously known only from the type collection from Costa Rica, is now reported for South America, enlarging its distribution considerably. The Myxomycetes were collected in Wayqecha Biological Station, a conservation area in the Cuzco region. The specimens were deposited in the South Peruvian Herbarium (HSP) and the Real Jardin Botanico de Madrid (MA-Fungi). The number of Myxomycetes currently recorded from Peru is increased to 174 species. Keywords Amoebozoa, distribution, diversity, montane forest, Myxobiota, Neotropics.
