Identification. Soralia lateral and lower surface ecorticate, slightly arachnoid, with small ocher pigments towards the apices K + red ( Díaz-Escandón 2017).

Ecology and distribution. Polyblastidiu neglectum has been recorded in the departments of Boyacá, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Risaralda, Santander, Tolima and Valle del Cauca, in Andean forests and páramos, from 1800 to 3500 m a.s.l., on bark, live fences, and wood in good condition ( Díaz-Escandón 2017). In SNSM, it was found on bark in disturbed forests and coffee crops in the Andean and sub- Andean forests, from 1640 to 2560 m a.s.l.; the new records expand this species’ altitudinal distribution range.
