Summary: | ABSTRACT: New information about presence and features of some Lecanora species as well as their ecology and distribution in Antarctica are provided. Lecanora dispersa (Pers.) Sommerf. is confirmed to occur in the Antarctic region; L. sverdrupiana Øvst. is recorded for the first time from maritime Antarctica; L. torrida Vain. is reported as new for that Ant− arctic area and for the southern hemisphere. An attempt to summarize the present state of knowledge for the genus Lecanora in the Antarctic region is made. Several species, which require more in depth studies, are briefly discussed and an up−to−date list of species occur− ring in Antarctica is included. |
