Abstract
A new species, Gyalectidium yahriae Buck ce Serus., is described from colle ctions made on twigs in Quercus woods in Florida (U.S.A.) and from decortic ated wood in the montane forest zone of Papua New Guinea. Its ascocarps are unknown, but it is easily characterized by hyphophores composed of a circl e of triangular lobes and by masses of moniliform hyphae producing long cil ia on their outer cells: its generic position in the lichen family. Gomphil laceae is uncertain.
