Abstract

An annotated checklist of lichen-forming and lichenicolous fungi reported from the Falkland Islands is presented. A total of 408 taxa are reported: 402 species, and six additional infra-specific taxa (four subspecies, one variety and one forma), in 161 genera. Included in these are 15 species of lichenicolous fungi in 12 different genera. One hundred and fifty taxa are reported for the first time from the archipelago. Six new combinations are proposed: Lambiella andreaeicola (Fryday) Fryday, L. subpsephota (Fryday) Fryday, Notoparmelia kerguelensis (F. Wilson) Fryday, N. lindsayana (Øvstedal & Elix) Fryday, Palicella xantholeuca (Müll.Arg.) Fryday & Orange and Pseudephebe mariensis (Øvstedal, Common & Fryday) Øvstedal & Fryday.
