Phyllopsora parvifolia (Pers.) Muell . Arg.

Description.

Elix (2009).

Distribution.

Pantropical, but mainly Neotropical, extending into the temperate zones in North and South America and in Europe (Brako 1991, as P. parvifolia var. parvifolia; Kistenich et al. in press).

Remarks.

Despite several reports from Asia and Melanesia (Table 1), we have seen only a single specimen of this species (Sri Lanka, Kistenich & Weerakoon SK1-661, PDA, not sequenced; Fig. 8B) from the area. The species is the phylogenetic sister to P. mediocris (Fig. 1). It is new to Sri Lanka.
