„Dendrophoma lecanorae“ VOUAUX
19: on Lecanora conizaeoides, thallus (hb IVL 3950).

Conidiomata about 120 µm, semi-immersed, conidiogenous cells in
chains, conidia arising laterally, circa 4 x 2 µm, with one or two guttules, trun-
cate at the base. Following the argumentation of HAWSKWORTH (1981) on
Lichenosticta alcicornaria also this species cannot stay in the genus Dendrophoma.
For a new combination further studies are necessary.

Intralichen baccisporus D. HAWKSW. & M. S. COLE
5: on Caloplaca dolomiticola (hb IVL 3980).

Intralichen baccisporus was described in 2002 from a collection in North
America (HAWSKWORTH & COLE 2002). SÉRUSIAUX et al. (2003) lists it for Bel-
gium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. A lot of the older reports on
Caloplaca spp. reported under Intralichen (Bispora) christiansenii may also belong
to this species. New for Sicily, probably also for Italy.

Leptosphaeria ramalinae (DESM.) SACC.
7: on Ramalina fastigiata (hb IVL 3984, in the specimen of Phoma ficuzzae).

This rare species was known only from a few collections in France, Lux-
embourg, Denmark, Spain, Mallorca and the Canary Islands. New for Sicily,
probably also for Italy.

Lichenochora obscuroides (LINDS.) TRIEBEL & RAMBOLD
8: on Physcia tenella (hb IVL 3931).

Lichenochora obscuroides is widespread in Europe from Scandinavia to the
Mediterranean and also known from a few records in North America. It seems
to be quite common on species of Phaeophyscia and, rarer on Physcia. New for
Sicily, probably also for Italy.

Lichenoconium erodens M. S. CHRIST. & D. HAWKSW.
18: on Pleurosticta acetabulum (hb IVL 3949).

A widespread and common fungus on a wide range of lichens. We don’t
know about any reports from Italy.

Lichenoconium lecanorae (JAAP) D. HAWKSW.
3: on Xanthoparmelia pulla (hb IVL 3964); 18: on Melanohalea exasperata (hb IVL
3947).

A widespread and common fungus, growing on members of the Le-
canoraceae and Parmeliaceae. Previously known Italian records are from Tren-
tino-Alto Adige (HAWKSWORTH 1981) and from Sardinia (NIMIS & POELT 1987).
