Abstract
Placopsis auriculata LUMBSCH & KASHIWADANI is described from Papua New Guinea. This new species is characterized by the presence of campylid ia-like helmet-shaped soralia and the presence of the gyrophoric acid chemosyndrome. Hiascic acid is reported for the first time from the Ag yriaceae. The distinction of that species from other sorediate species of Placopsis is briefly discussed.
