Tóm tắt

Material of the genus Lepraria from maritime and continental Antarctica collected in 1986–2007 was studied. Four species were distinguished, L. alpina, L. caerulescens, L. straminea and one putative new taxon provisionally called Lepraria sp. AO. L. caerulescens is tentatively resurrected from the synonyms of L. alpina for the chemotype with atranorin and angardianic/roccellic acid. Lepraria sp. AO is characterized by its granular thallus similar to other members of the L. neglecta group and the presence of two fatty acids, so far unidentified and not known from other members of the genus. Morphological and chemical diagnostic characters of all taxa, their distribution and ecological features are discussed. An updated key for identification of all Antarctic species is provided.
