Fritziana is currently composed by four species known from mountain regions in the Brazilian states of Espirito Santo, Parana, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina, and Sao Paulo. Based on field records, literature, and data gathered from collections, we present new records and a distribution map for the species of the genus. Fritziana is now recorded for seven Brazilian states, including five localities in Minas Gerais. We also confirm Fritziana goeldii (Boulenger 1895) in the same state. The genus distribution now ranges in the southern Espinhaco mountain range, extending in 215 km from the previously known locality.
