Abstract
The genera Blumenavia A. Moller and Colonnaria Rafinesque are bridly discussed, the ¡alter as a prior synonym of Laternea Turpin. A new species, Colonnaria pereximia is described from Costa Rica and the new combination C. pusilla (D. & C.) L. D. Gómez is proposed, increasing the number of accepted species for the genus to the following: C. angolensis (Welw. & Curr.) & Ed. Fisch.; C. columnata (Bose) Ed. Fisch.; C. triscapa (Turpin) R. Sant.; C. pusilla (B. & C) L. D. Gómez and C. pereximia L. D. Gómez. The status of "Laternea” bicolumnata Lloyd remains uncertain, but the possibility of this being a variant of C. columnata (Bose) Ed. Fischer, is suggested.
