Abstract
Lecanora compallens and L. sinnosa, two corticolous lichens, are described nas species new to science on the basis of numerous collections. Lecanora compallens is a sorediate species, known only as sterile. It is probably common in Western Europe, but overlooked because it is very similar to L. expallens. Chemically, the new species is identical with L. strobilina, of which it may represent a sorediate counterpart. Lecanora sinuosa is a new species similar to L. chlarotera and so far only known from a limited area in the Netherlands and Germany, although it may be overlooked elsewhere. Lecanora sinuosa is very close to L. hybocarpa with which it shares the puhcaris-type epihymenium inspersed with fine crystals but differs markedly by its thick thallus and thick and sinuous apothecium margin.
