The survey of the species belonging to the genera Canoparmelia and Crespoa in the Parque Estadual da Cantareira and adjacencies revealed the respective occurrence of four and three species. The species are recognized by foliose thalli with narrow rounded or ±truncate lobes generally ≤ 0.5 cm wide, differing by the upper cortex morphology and anatomy as well as by the secondary metabolites, all species of the genus having eciliate margins. Medullary chemical constituents are diverse. A key for identification, descriptions, comments and illustrations are provided for the cited species.
