The lichen genera Canomaculina and Rimeliella (Ascomycotina, parmeliaceae)

Abstract

The lichen genus Rimeliella Kurok. has been relegated into synonymy with Canomaculina Elix & Hale. The key characters of Canomaculina include the effigurate-maculate upper cortex, ciliate margins, dimorphous rhizines, large, ellipsoidal spores and filiform conidia. A number of new combinations are made and several species are discussed in detail.
