Abstract Seven new lichen species are described, two from
alpine/subalpine habitats (
Parmeliella crassa and
Santessoniella
brunnea), three from dark and humid lowland bush-vegetation
(
Fuscopannaria granulans,
Pannaria delicata, and
Parmeliella
subtilis), one from open, but moist mountain forests (
Fuscoderma
pyxinoides), and one from lowland valleys (
Parmeliella aggregata).
The delimitation of the parmelielloid genera is discussed and a key is given to
distinguish them. An emended key to the sorediate species of
Fuscoderma
is also included, as well as one to the genus
Fuscopannaria in New
Zealand and Australia. Several species are transferred to this genus:
Fuscopannaria crustata (from
Pannaria),
Fuscopannaria
decipiens (from
Pannaria),
Fuscopannaria minor (from
Parmeliella), and
Fuscopannaria subimmixta (from
Pannaria).
F. minor is identical with material which has been
mistakenly called
Pannaria fuegensis in South America, the type of which
clearly belongs in
Psoroma; the necessary transfer to that genus is done
here.
