Lichenological notes 6: Nomenclatural acts

Abstract

Lecanora peltastictoides is transferred to Aspicilia. Thelenella americana is treated as Melanophloea americana and T. montana as M. montana. Sarcogyne athroocarpa is treated as a synonym of Acarospora badiofusca and a lectotype is designated. Pleopsidium stenosporum is treated as a synonym of P. flavum. s.n., Lichenes Boreali-Americani 227 (FH! holotype, destroyed by sampling?; COLO! L-79776, lectotype designated here). The holotype collection of Sarcogyne athroocarpa has only a Lecidea species remaining, and the Sarcogyne is presumed to have been destroyed by sampling. In COLO we have discovered a syntype of S. athroocarpa, originally identified by W.A. Weber, which we designate as a lectotype. Unfamiliar with extremely reduced forms of A. badiofusca in North America at high elevations, H. Magnusson, who described the reduced dispersed apothecia of A. badiofusca as an endolithic Sarcogyne, suggested that its sterile areoles represented another "Acarospora" species (Magnusson 1935). As with A. badiofusca, the hymenium is low (60–70 μm) and the perithecial crown (exciple) is brown (it often becomes
