ABSTRACT
The new combination Xenolecia masafuerensis is made for Lecanora masafuerensis,
a lichen species known from only two localities on Isla Alejandro Selkirk in the
Juan Fernández archipelago, Chile. The species is fully described and illustrated and shown
to be morphologically and chemically distinct from the similar X. spadicomma, which is
known only from Chile and the Falkland Islands. The typification of X. masafuerensis and
its distribution on the islands are also discussed.
