Lecanora vaenskaei Roux et C. Coste sp.nov. is described as a new saxi
colous, calcifugous lichen species, discovered in southeastern France
(Var Department). It differs from Lecanora chlorophaeodes Nyl. in its
thallus, apothecia, paraphyses, spores and distribution. The classific
ation of the new species is considered with respect to the genus Rhizo
placa, which is shown to belong to the family Lecanoraceae rather than
the Parmeliaceae.
