Abstract

Xanthoparmelia isidiovagans and X. subverrucigera from Spain are described as new to science. Both species are characterized by an isidiate upper surface and the presence of the stictic acid chemosyndrome in the medulla, but X. isidiovagans has a vagrant thallus with markedly revolute lobes with a black lower surface, whereas X. subverrucigera has adnate thalli with subirregular lobes and a brown lower surface.
