Abstract

Four interesting lichens belonging to Catapyrenium, Placidium and Placopyrenium genera (Verrucariaceae) were collected for the first time in Argentina. Catapyrenium exaratum was only reported from Chile and Perú. Placidium acarosporoides was previously known from North America, Chile and South Africa. Placidium pilosellum, a widespread and common species, but little known in South America. Finally, Placopyrenium bucekii, a mediterranean-submediterranean lichen, represents a new record from South America. For these taxa we provide a brief description with emphasis on the ecological aspects and distribution maps. Resumen: Nuevos registros en la familia de líquenes Verrucariaceae (Ascomycota) de Argentina.

Placidium acarosporoides, conocida hasta el momento de Norte América, Chile y Sudáfrica. Placidium pilosellum, una especie común y ampliamente distribuida, pero poco conocida en Sudamérica. Finalmente, Placopyrenium bucekii, un liquen (sub)-mediterráneo ha sido recolectado por primera vez en Sudamérica. Se añaden, para cada especie, una breve descripción morfo-anatómica y ecológica y un mapa de distribución geográfica. Palabras clave: Líquenes, Verrucariaceae, Argentina, nuevas citas.
