In a survey of the species pertaining to genera of large parmeliae occurring in the coastal areas of the center-south coastal areas of São Paulo State, Brazil, seven species of Parmotrema A. Massal. with pigmented medulla (P. aurantiacoparvum, P. cf. cryptoxanthoides, P. endosulphureum, P. sorediosulphuratum, P. subochraceum and P. sulphuratum) are...

The new locality of the Red-listed lichen Cetrelia cetrarioides was discovered in Belovezhskaya Puscha National Park. The occurrence of this species was confirmed by the sequence of the ITS region.
Cercidospora lecidomae Zhurb. & Triebel (Dothideales, Ascomycetes) is described from the north of Holarctic, growing on apothecia and thalli of Lecidoma demissum. Its features and generic placement are discussed. A table with key characteristics and the host lichens of all known Cercidospora species is presented.
The paper enumerates distribution of 31 species belonging to 16 genera and 11 families of lichens from seven forest sites of Hojai subdivision of Nagaon district, Assam. The area exhibits dominance of both crustose and foliose lichens represented by 16 and 14 species respectively, while a single fruticose Ramalina hossei Vain. species is recorded f...
Lecidea oreophila, a species similar to L. tessellata, is described from the mountains of California (Sierra Nevada, San Bernardino, San Jacinto) from sites above 1958 meters in elevation. The new species produces 2′-O-methylmicrophyllinic acid with or without confluentic acid.
Cetrelia isidiata (Asahina) W.L. Culb. & C.F. Culb., is characterized by the presence of isidia, pseudocyphellae on thallus, and containing anziaic acid. The species is reported here as an addition to the Indian lichen biota from Arunachal Pradesh. A detailed description along with key to isidiate species of the genus known is provided.

The crustose lichen biota of coastal rocks in South Brazil was investigated. Several distinct lichen zones were found: a littoral black zone, a supralittoral yellow zone and a grey zone with species restricted to either exposed granite, dry overhangs, damp overhangs or places subjected to run-off. Dendrographa austrosorediata is newly described, with a crustose, flat to partly curling up or blister-like thallus which is much dissected, whitish grey, 0·1–0·2 mm thick; surface minutely densely cracked, rimose, with cracks intersecting at each c. 0·1 mm; soredia whitish to bluish grey but asymmetrically blackened in the direction facing the light, originating on the thallus surface, in initially discrete convex soralia. The phylogenetic position of this new species was traced by molecular methods. Stigmidium marinum , generally regarded as a lichenicolous fungus, was found as a free-living lichen, thousands of kilometres away from the nearest known occurrence of any purported host.
Calopadia saxicola is described as new to science. The species grows on rocky shores in
southern Brazil and is characterized by the corticate thallus, pruinose apothecia with brownish to
reddish brown disc, mainly 2–3-spored asci with muriform ascospores, and the absence of secondary
metabolites. A description with ecological data, figures, comments and a key to all species in the
genus known from Brazil are given.
Parmotrema marcellii is described as a new saxicolous species on granitic rocks in the rocky shores of Santa Catarina State, southern Brazil. The rocky shores generally are extensions of rocky mountains, near the coast, reaching the sea floor. They are included among the less studied environments in Brazil and despite showing a remarkable lichenized fungi diversity, just over 10 % of the species on Brazilian rocky shores are supposed to be known. From southern Brazil, a total of 33 species representing the parmelioid lichens and distributed in nine genera are so far known. The Parmotrema species form the largest and most important portion of the lichenized micobiota of this habitat, with over half the number of known species producing medullary salazinic acid. Belonging to this group, the new species presented here is characterized by reticulate maculate upper cortex, bacilliform conidia and marginal to mainly submarginal pustules that usually form dense agglomerations forming no soredia. Herein, we describe this new species and compare it with other morphologically similar species.
. This paper presents new records of 180 lichen species from Bolivia; 103 are new national records. Three species, Bryonora curvescens (Mudd) Poelt (also from Ecuador), Lepraria elobata Tønsberg and Pyrenula laetior Müll. Arg., are reported for the first time from the Southern Hemisphere, and five, Bathelium aff. sphaericum (C. W. Dodge) R. C. Harris, Lepraria jackii Tønsberg, Psiloparmelia arhizinosa Hale, Szczawinskia tsugae A. Funk and Trinathotrema lumbricoides (Sipman) Sipman & Aptroot, are new to South America. To complement the rather poorly recognized distribution of some species, five of the taxa reported here are also new to Ecuador. Notes on distribution and chemistry are provided for most species, and some, especially those belonging to taxonomically critical groups, are discussed in greater detail.
Parmotrema hydrium is a new lichen species discovered during a survey of Parmeliaceae in the Cantareira mountain range of southeastern Brazil. In its medullary chemistry, the species contains several fatty acids and other substances, including small amounts of atranorin, typically restricted to the soralia and young lobes.
Cladonia dunensis is described. The new species resembles C. celata in the
corticate and scyphose podetia that are simple at first before branching fastigiately but
differs in forming squamulose podetia and producing psoromic acid. Seven Cladonia species
are reported for the first time from beach dune environments in the coastal plain of Santa
Catarina State, southern Brazil.
