We describe six new species in the neotropical fern genus Danaea Sm. (Marattiaceae). These are D. alansmithii Tuomisto & Keskiniva in subgenus Arthrodanaea and D. gracilis Tuomisto & Keskiniva, D. lanceolata Tuomisto & Keskiniva, D. stricta Tuomisto & Keskiniva, D. tenuicaulis Tuomisto & Keskiniva, and D. vanderwerffii Tuomisto & Keskiniva in subgenus Holodanaea. Recent synonymisations in the genus are discussed, a former synonymisation of D. lucens A.Rojas is reverted and D. quebradensis Christenh. is synonymised under D. lucens.
