ABSTRACT
The type species of the lichen genus Variolaria is V. discoidea. The name is
solely based on a Hoffmann (1784) illustration. To stabilize the nomenclature, we have
designated a lectotype and an epitype from Germany, for which we generated molecular
data. The species was formerly placed in the genus Pertusaria as P. albescens, and is
presently correctly named Lepra albescens.
