The four species of the genus Coriolus Quél. so far found in Argentine are des¬cribed. Macro- and micromorphological characters of basidiocarps, as well as "invitro?? cultures, are taken in consideration to support systematic conclusions. The species have been distributed in two sections: 1) Sect. Ellipsosporae sect, nov., typified by C. pavonius (Hook, in Kunth) Murr. and characterized by ellipsoidal basidiospores and cultural features; 2) Sect. Versicolores which includes C. versicolor (L. ex Fr.) Quél., C. villosus (Sw. ex Fr.) M. Bond, et Herrera and C. hirsutus (Wulf. ex Fr.) Quél., characterized by cylindric-shaped basidiospores. Coriolus versicolor is very polymorphic and four varieties have been recognized according to macromorphology and distribution, i.e. f. versicolor, f. antarcticus (Speg.) Rajch. comb, nov., f. azureus (Fr.) Rajch. comb. nov. and f. tucumanensis Rajch. form. nov. Coriolus hirsutus is probably an introduced species.
