Abstract

Rinodina intermedia Bagl. is distinguished from R. conradii Körb. on the basis of its Type-A spore development, submuriform spores, and the presence of a new lichen substance, deoxylichesterinic acid. Both species are primarily ground dwelling and are mostly allopatric in their North American and world distributions, R. intermedia being warm temperate whereas R. conradii is cold temperate. Both species occur in Colorado, the Andes, and Himalaya Mountains, R. conradii being found at higher elevations. Rinodina diplinthia (Nyl.) Zahlbr., R. darrovii E. D. Rudolph, and R. conradii var. megaspora D. D. Awasthi & M. R. Agarwal are placed into synonomy for the first time. Lectotypes for R. lusitanica Arnold and R. sabulosa Tuck. are selected.
