Abstract
A description of a new lichen species Peltula daurica from the vicinity of the village of Aksha (South-Eastern Transbaikal Region), collected in the Onon River valley, near the river bank on steep basalt rocks along the road surrounded by steppe, is provided. The new species differs from all the known Peltula species by the presence of a prothallus and peltate squamules (with «pseudoumbilicus») developing from areoles. The species takes a separate position both among the peltate species and among the crustose species. Its affinity is unknown and may to a certain degree be established by using molecular analysis, for which additional materials are required.
