The taxonomic status of two poorly known Andean species is reviewed. Their diagnostic characters are illustrated and discussed. Bartramia microbasis Müll. Hal. is proposed as a new synonym of Anacolia laevisphaera (Taylor) Flowers and Mielichhoferia modesta Müll. Hal. is reduced to synonymy of Pohlia wahlenbergii (F. Weber & D. Mohr) A. L. Andrews. Four new lectotypes are selected, including for Glyphocarpa laevisphaera Taylor and Bartramia subsessilis Taylor.
