Abstract
After fieldwork in central Chile, five lichen species were established as new for the country: Bryoria lanestris, Buellia disciformis, Haematomma sorediatum, Lecidea capensis, and Punctelia rudecta. They were discovered in two national parks in the Maule Region and the area surrounding the Termas de Chillán, Bío-Bío Region. Each species is briefly described, with habit illustrations and comments on chemistry, habitat, and morphology. These collections suggest a high potential for finding more unreported lichen species in Chile's national parks.
