Four new coprophilous species of Sporormiella are described and illustrated: S. macropulchella from Canada, Kenya, Tanzania, and U.S.A.; S. obliqua from Canada, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and U.S.A.; S. similis from Canada, Kenya, Tanzania, and U.S.A.; and S. tenuispora from Kenya, Tanzania, and U.S.A. Many additional records are reported for 18 previously described species, several of which are redescribed from axenic cultures. New records are provided for two of the known species of Sporormia.
