Abstract Two species of the genus Coccotrema
Müll. Arg. (lichenised Ascomycotina) occur in southern South America,
Coccotrema cucurbitula (Mont.) Müll.Arg. and Coccotrema
porinopsis (Nyl.) Imshaug ex Yoshimura. Based on new results of taxonomic
studies, the following species are rejected as C. porinopsis
synonyms and transferred to C. cucurbitula synonyms: Pertusaria
adveniens Nyl., Pertusaria adventans Nyl., Pertusaria
thelioplaca Nyl. A key to the species, details of their morphology,
chemistry, geographic distribution, habitat, and taxonomic position are
given.
