[Version: October 31st, 2000]

 

This world-wide checklist of foliicolous lichens and their lichenicolous fungi continues the two checklists published by FARKAS & SIPMAN [Trop. Bryol. 7: 93-148 (1993); Abstr. Bot. 21(1): 173-206 (1997)]. It includes all generic and specific names of foliicolous, lichenized fungi previously accepted by SANTESSON [Symb. Bot. Ups. 12(1): 1-590 (1952)], and those described or used afterwards. In addition, and contrary to the previous versions of the checklist, it also includes all basionyms of foliicolous, lichenized fungi ever described, most of them already treated by SANTESSON [loc. cit.]. This is due to the fact that more and more older names turn out to be available for recently discovered, supposedly new species, and hence their present status differs from that indicated by SANTESSON [loc. cit.]. Nomenclatural synonyms which are not currently accepted or have not been used after SANTESSON's monograph are not included. A short version, including only synonymes used after SANTESSON [loc. cit.] and basic references for each species, is also available. In addition, a novelties version indicates all changes that occurred during the last two years (1999-2000). Further, based on the work of MATZER [Mycol. Pap. 171: i-x, 1-202 (1996)], all lichenicolous fungi reported from foliicolous lichens are compiled in a separate Part II of this checklist. This seemed appropriate since lichenicolous fungi on foliicolous lichens are usually treated by workers dealing with the latter and in several cases belong to the same genera.

This internet version of the checklist is updated every 6-12 months and is also intended to be published separately as hardcopy. The checklist has been compiled and revised by us with great care, but errors cannot be excluded. We are therefore greatful for any remarks concerning errors or ommitted data. Please send remarks to either Dr. Robert LÜCKING [rlucking@hotmail.com] or Dr. Harrie SIPMAN [hsipman@mail.zedat.fu-berlin.de].

The foliicolous lichens compiled here only include typically foliicolous or ubiquitous lichens, i.e. those species which are either able to complete their life cycle on leaves or frequently occur on leaves as well as on other substrata. In some few cases were it has been found necessary, usually non-foliicolous species were also included. The entries are divided into five categories which are distinguished by their font size and colour:

• GENUS Author, Reference. – Bas. – Nom. syn. – Tax. syn. – Type species. – Systematic position (with reference). – Substrata. – Number of foliicolous species. – Distribution.
  = Accepted generic names of taxa including typically foliicolous or ubiquitous lichens reported as foliicolous.
• [GENUS Author, Reference. = Valid name (with reference). – Type species. = Valid name].
  = Not accepted generic names of taxa including typically foliicolous or ubiquitous lichens reported as foliicolous, or accepted generic names of taxa which do not include foliicolous lichens or are non-lichenized.
• Species Author, Reference. – Bas. – Nom. syn. – Tax. syn. – Type. – Exs. – Distribution.
  = Accepted specific names of typically foliicolous or ubiquitous lichens reported as foliicolous.
• [Species Author, Reference. – Bas. – Nom. syn. – Tax. syn. – Type. – Exs. – Distribution].
  = Accepted specific names of facultatively foliicolous or non-foliicolous lichens which had to be included for some reasons.
• [Species Author, Reference. = Valid name (with reference)].
  = Not accepted specific names (basionyms, nomenclatural or taxonomic synonyms) of typically foliicolous or ubiquitous lichens reported as foliicolous.

Names of species which have been mentioned in recent publications as "ined." or "ad int." are included as not accepted until a valid description is provided. Types seen by at least one of the authors of this checklist are marked with an exclamation mark (!). Exsiccata are listed according to editors in alphabetical order, with the names by which species were distributed given in [parentheses] when appropriate. Notes on Distribution use the four main tropical regions, i.e. tropical America, Africa, Asia and Australia, and Europe as major units.

As for novelties or alterations published in 1999 or 2000 or in press, as well as important corrections to the previous version of this checklist, please refer to the novelties or the short version, where new entries are marked with NEW!
