Adler, M. T. & S. Calvelo. 2010. Flavoparmelia baltimorensis, Parmotrema yodae y Xanthoparmelia braziliensis, primeras citas para Argentina y ampliacion de distribuciones para otras Parmeliaceae (Ascomycota liquenizados). Boletin de la Sociedad Argentina de Botanica 45(1–2): 5–16. [First reports of 3 taxa for Argentina and additional localities for 11 other Parmeliaceae. In Spanish with an English abstract.] Amo de Paz, G., H. T. Lumbsch, P. Cubas, J. A. Elix & A. Crespo. 2010. The morphologically deviating genera Omphalodiella and Placoparmelia belong to Xanthoparmelia (Parmeliaceae). The Bryologist 113(2): 376–386. [Based on new ribosomal DNA sequence data and other characteristics, these two monotypic genera are synonymized with Xanthoparmelia. New: Xanthoparmelia patagonica (Henssen) Amo, Lumbsch & Crespo comb. nov. and X. peltata Amo, Lumbsch & Crespo nom. nov. (for Omphalodiella patagonica).] ———, ———, ———, ——— & ———. 2010. The genus Karoowia (Parmeliaceae, Ascomycota) includes unrelated clades nested within Xanthoparmelia. Australian Systematic Botany 23: 173–184. [Study using ITS, nu LSU and mt SSU sequence data shows that Karoowia should be included in Xanthoparmelia. The following new combinations (comb. nov.) are proposed: Xanthoparmelia adligans (Brusse) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. arquata (Brusse) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. ganymedea (Brusse) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. insipida (Brusse) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. leptoplaca (Brusse) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. lyrigera (Brusse) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. microscopica (Hale) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. perspersa (Stizenb.) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. protocetrarica (Hale) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. ralla (Brusse) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. salazinica (Hale) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. saxeti (Stizenb.) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. scitula (Brusse) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch, X. spissa (Brusse) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch and X. subchalybaeizans (Hale) Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch. Also proposed is X. mucinae Amo, A. Crespo, Elix & Lumbsch nom. nov. for Karoowia squamatica non X. squamatica Elix & Nash.] ———, J. Raggio, M. P. Gomez-Serranillos, O. M. Palomino, E. Gonzalez-Burgos, M. E. Carretero & A. Crespo. 2010. HPLC isolation of antioxidant constituents from Xanthoparmelia spp. Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biomedical Analysis 53(2): 165–171. [‘‘Both lichens extracts and all isolated compounds protected U373 MG cells from hydrogen peroxide-induced damage, suggesting that they could act as antioxidant agents in those neurodegenerative disorders associated with oxidative damage, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.’’] Anderson, R. 2009. Cladonia peziziformis (With.) J. R. Laundon (Lecanorales: Cladoniaceae) re-discovered in Co. Down. Irish Naturalists’ Journal 30(2): 146. [This taxon in listed as ‘‘critically endangered’’ in the UK and is a ‘‘priority species’’ in Northern Ireland.] 1 Author’s e-mail: regan@unomaha.edu The cumulative database for this series is available in searchable form on the World Wide Web at http:// www.nhm.uio.no/botanisk/bot-mus/lav/sok_rll.htm. I owe special thanks to Bill Buck for providing copies of papers by other authors, which were otherwise unavailable to me, and to the cooperating authors who send reprints or electronic versions of their works to me for inclusion in this series. Following the completion of the next list (221), I will be transferring the Recent Literature on Lichens series into the capable hands of my colleague Brendan Hodkinson (brendan.hodkinson@duke.edu). Please be sure to place him on your mailing list for all future lichen publications. Many thanks. DOI: 10.1639/0007-2745-114.1.251
