Abstract
Three new species of Laboulbeniales associated with Bolivian insects are described. These are Chitonomyces decussatus, occurring on Laccophilus sp. (Coleoptera, Dytiscidae), Laboulbenia notiobiae on Notiobia variabiis (Coleoptera, Carabidae), and Laboulbenia biflagellata, on Ega sp. (Carabidae). Twenty-six new records are also reported, which together with unpublished records from Brazil, Costa Rica, French Guiana and Venezuela, contribute to improving knowledge of the geographic distribution of these fungi and, in several cases, also allow clarity about the identity of their hosts. A list of previous records is also given.
