description: X. submougeotii Hale (1989: 561)   
 When X. submougeotii was described it was only reported from its type locality in the Juan Fernández Islands (Chile), whereas Nash et al. (1995) later added one collection from Mendoza in Argentina and two from the Falkland Islands. However, Calvelo & Adler (2001) reported it from many localities in Argentinian Tierra del Fuego, Etayo & Sancho (2008) added it from Chilean Isla Navarino and we have studied another 25 collections, indicating that this species is very common. All samples show the same chemistry with usnic, norstictic, stictic and constictic acids, and most specimens have characteristic subterminal soralia (Fig. 9).
