Typification of names of selected taxa described by Acharius and now placed in Caloplaca

Abstract

AbstractTypification of names of lichen‐forming fungi referring to taxa currently placed in the genus Caloplaca was undertaken by examination of material from the Acharius herbaria (BM‐ACH, H‐ACH, UPS‐ACH). Lectotypes are selected for Lecanora inalpina, Lecanora teicholyta, Lecidea aurantiaca var. rubescens, Lecidea caesiorufa, Lecidea turneriana, Lichen erythrellus and Parmelia microthelia and the holotype identified for Lecidea viridirufa. Lecidea caesiorufa var. festiva and Lichen craspedius are illegitimate names and both are automatically typified by the type of Lichen arenarius.
