Four new species are described, viz. Ischnosiphon bahiensis (Brazil), I. ursinus (French Guiana and Rio Negro Basin), I. crassispicus (vicinity of Manaus), and I. fusiformis (NE Peru). New data on ecology, morphology, or distribution are presented for I. inflatus Anderss., I. enigmaticus Anderss., I. centricifolius Anderss., I. gracilis (Rudge) Koern., I. helenae Anderss., I. macarenae Anderss., I. polyphyllus (P. & E.) Koern., and I. surumuensis Loes. The typification of I. arouma (Aubl.) Koern. is briefly discussed.
