Abstract
We describe three new species of Radula subg. Volutoradula from above 3000 m in the tropical Andes: R. ilkiuborgesiae from Colombia (Dept. Santander), and R. longicarinata and R. magna from Bolivia (Dept. La Paz). The new species stand out by the unusual shape of their lobules. Full descriptions, illustrations as well as comments on the morphology, taxonomy, ecology and distribution of the new species are provided. The discovery of the new species adds three further endemic taxa to the rich bryophyte flora of the tropical Andes, the richest area for Radulaceae in the Neotropics.
