Abstract
The widely distributed Lichenostigma cosmopolites is described as new and i ts position in that genus is discussed. Earlier records of presumed Echinot hecium reticulatum on Xanthoparmelia species mostly refer to this ascomycet e. The fungus lives on a number of Xanthoparmelia species and is extremely widely distributed. It is known from all continents but Antarctica.
