Abstract

Abstract:Iberian records of Buellia triseptata A. Nordin are presented. This corticolous and lignicolous species was recently described from North America. A description based on the Iberian material is given, together with notes on ecology and distribution. Specimens belonging to B. triseptata were previously reported as B. disciformis, B. lauricassiae, B. pharcidia and B. triphragmia. The main distinguishing features between these taxa and B. triseptata are pointed out, and a background to the misapplied names is given. Illustrations of the ascospores of B. triseptata and B. lauricassiae are presented. A distribution map of B. triseptatain the Iberian Peninsula is also provided.
