Two new coprophilous species of Coprobia Boud., C. hyphopila spec. nov. and C. sordida spec. nov. are described from Czechoslovakia. Taxonomic problems of the genera Coprobia and Cheilymenia Boud. are discussed. Regarding the genus Cheilymenia, the author proposes to separate all species with superficial apothecial hairs related to Cheilymenia theleboloides from the genus and transfer them to Coprobia on the basis of a similar excipular structure and a specific cyanophilic striation of ascospore perispore consisting of extremely low longitudinal ribs. The author considers the striation of the peelable perispore (together with pustules, warts or folds) a very important feature for classification of species of Coprobia including all species of Cheilymenia with “theleboloides” type of excipulum and hairs. Moreover, the author described and pictured an outstanding ascospore ornamentation which he has found in several other species of Cheilymenia considered smooth-spored till now (e.g. C. ciliata). One new combination has been made.
