Notes; The four specimens presumably represent the same taxon, characterized by S. weigelii
gross morphology, dark lower tomentum to the margin, cylindrical, coralloid isidia. Three
specimens show typical moisture-after-collection damage, with yçllow-red discoloration of
cyphellae and tomentum. The forth, Zanoni & Pimentel 25829, is rather well-preserved and was
sequenced by McDonald et al. (2003); in the current Sticta ITS tree (Moncada et*al. 2013), it falls
in the S. scabrosa clade/complex, where it represents a yet undescribed species. This clade does
not appear to be related to S. weigelii s.str., although the exact position of the type of the latter
remains to be seen.	B
