[en] Lecania chlorotiza and L. falcata, described here as new from Spain/Navarra, the Canary
Islands and the Azores, do not belong to Lecania s. str. They belong to a strongly supported clade
comprising Bacidia, Bacidina, Scutula and Toninia when examined with maximum parsimony, maximum
likelihood and Bayesian inferences using mtSSU, nuLSU and nuITS sequences. This clade
represents the Bacidiaceae and is included in the Ramalinaceae s. lat. Most genera included in that
family need further work before a new genus can possibly be described for Lecania chlorotiza and L.
falcata.
