Africa, Canary Islands: Tenerife, Monte del Agua S of Los Silos, c. 1 km W of
Erjos, 28°19,N, 16°48'W, c. 1140 m alt., laurel forest, on bark of unnamed trees.
Note 1: The original spelling of the name is '25. Sph. Nectria lecanodes Ces. mss.' From the
previous page (p. 406) it is evident that 'Sph.' is an abbreviation of the generic name Sphaeria.
Therefore the basionym is Sphaeria lecanodes and not Nectria lecanodes as often cited. The
text of the protologue was reprinted together with the exsiccatum label, and there the entire text
is signed by 'Cesati' indicating that both name and validating description were contributed by
Cesati. Therefore the correct citation of the author of the taxon is 'Ces.' (ICBN 46.2).
Note 2: The type host of Nectriopsis lecanodes is given as Peltigera canina. However, Peitigera
canina has often been understood in a broad sense at that time and a reinvestigation of the
type specimen would be necessary.
