The genus Cotingacola currently contains 14 species and subspecies described by Carriker. A careful examination of these reveals only 6 valid taxa with 8 names placed as junior synonyms. These new synonymies are Cotingacola rupicolae colombiana, C. latigastra, C. temporalis and C. longicrucis, synonyms of C. rupicolae; C. foramina, C. graciligastra and C. tityra, synonyms of C. tergalis; C. acuticeps, a synonym of C. dimorpha. Two new species are described from Peruvian material: C. stotzi (type host: Querula purpurata) and C. fitzpatricki (type host: Lipaugus subalaris). A key is provided for identification of the 8 species.
