Further records of foliicolous lichens and lichenicolous fungi from Australasia, with an updated checklist for continental Australia

Based on collections gathered by H. Streimann and J. A. Elix in Papua New G uinea, Australia (including Tasmania), and Vanuatu, five new foliicolous li chen species are described: Calenia bullatinoides Lucking, Eremothecella cy aneoides Lucking, Fellhanera tasmanica Lucking & Elix, Fellhaneropsis austr aliana Lucking, and Porina vanuatuensis Lucking. In addition, the following new combinations are proposed: Coenogonium isidiiferum (Lucking) Lucking [ Bas.: Dimerella isidiifera Liicking], Coenogonium lisowskii (Vezda) Liickin g [Bas.: Dimerella queenslandica Kalb & Vezda], Coenogonium queenslandicum (Kaib & Vezda) Liicking [Bas.: Dimerella queenslandica Kalb & Vezda], Echin oplaca tetrapla (Zahlbr.) Liicking [Bas.: Gonolecania tetrapla Zahlbr.], an d Porina subepiphylla var. australiensis (Lucking & Vezda) Liicking [Bas.: Porina lucida var. australiensis Lucking & Vezda]. Coenogonium piliferum (V ezda) Kalb & Liicking [Bas.: Dimerella pilifera Vezda] is placed into synon ymy with Coenogonium epiphyllum Vain. An updated checklist of foliicolous l ichens from Australia includes 202 species and excludes five previously rep orted tars. (C) 2001 The British Lichen Society.
