B.A. N.Z. Antarct. Res. Exped. Rep., ser. B, 7: 67 (1948). Type:— KERGUELEN. Long Island, 49°30’S, 69°50’E, February 1930, B.A.N.Z.A.R.E. B953-1 (holotype FH!).
Description: Dodge (1948).
Notes: the type specimen (FH) is very reduced and composed of only two tiny, sterile thallus lobes of c. 2 mm in diam, growing on plant detritus together with a species of cf. Lepraria (“growing on dead Acaena between Parmelia kerguelensis ?” according to the protologue in Dodge 1948). As a consequence, it can hardly be referred to any recent material of cyanolichen. Henssen & James (1982, p. 228) did not treat this species because the type material was not available for study by them.
