based on two herbarium collections made in 1980. It has recently been sought at its type locality without success. The species is corticolous and squamulose, developing into a crust of gymnidia, where c. 3\/4 represent the chloromorph and the remaining parts are conspicuous cephalodia with the same external morphology as the chloromorph. The species lacks lichen substances by thin layer chromatography (TLC) and the asci have apical IKI+ structures like other <em>Psoroma <\/em>species, but the ascospores differ in having long-apiculate perispores. The new species is hypothesised to represent a separate lineage in Pannariaceae, but fresh material for molecular phylogenetic analysis is needed. <em>Psoroma caliginosum <\/em>and <em>P. melanizum <\/em>are both newly treated here as synonyms of <em>Pannaria pholidotoides<\/em> described from the Otago \/ \u014ctakou area. There is also still another unnamed species and an unresolved name from this area. The ascospores of <em>Pannaria pholidotoides <\/em>have a gibbose perispore, contrasting the long-apiculate perispores of the related species <em>P. implexa<\/em>. Knowledge of perispore morphology is decisive for identifying squamulose <em>Pannaria <\/em>species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><strong>Cite as<\/strong><br>Elvebakk, A., Knight A., &amp; Ford M.
