Abstract

A new species of Lecanora with a yellowish green thallus, Lecanora strobilinoides Giralt & Gomez-Bolea sp.nov. is described. It was found only in SE Catalonia (NE Spain) at low and middle altitudes, growing on bark and lignum of trees and shrubs, mainly on Pinus halepensis and Quercus ilex. Closely related to Lecanora strobilina (Sprengel) Kieffer, it is easily separated by its asci, with (12–)16(–32) ascospores, that are smaller and frequently 1-septate.
