Abstract

The new species, Pertusaria huanicola Messuti & A. W. Archer (Pertusariaceae, Ascomycota), is described. It is distinguished from Pertusaria phlyctaenula Nyl., P. subambigens Dibben and P. suboculata Brodo & Dibben by the chemistry and the number of ascospores per ascus. The new species is known only from Valdivian rainforest in south-western Argentina.
