ABSTRACT
The following tropical microlichen species are described new to science: Acanthotrema
sorediatum from Brazil, Coenogonium megasporum from Papua New Guinea, Glaucotrema
inspersum from Brazil, Glaucotrema negativum from Brazil, Micarea resinoides
from Papua New Guinea, Micarea viridibotryoides from Papua New Guinea, Myriotrema
defectofrondosum from Brazil, Ocellularia suprafricana from Brazil, Ocellularia uniseptatoides
from Brazil, and Piccolia perithecioidea from Argentina. Some other species are
reported new to Argentina, Brazil or one of more of its states, Ecuador, Madagascar and/
or Papua New Guinea.
