A new species of Lecanactis (Arthoniales, Roccellaceae) from Madagascar [PDF]
AbstractLecanactis rubra is described as new to science. It is characterized by having rounded to irregular or lirellate ascomata, relatively wide 3-septate ascospores and by the production of gyrophoric acid and an anthraquinone.

Two new foliicolous species of Enterographa (Roccellaceae) from Kenya [PDF]
AbstractEnterographa fellhaneroides and E. meklitiae are described as new to science from Kakamega Forest in Western Kenya. The latter overgrows the thallus of a foliicolous non-filamentous Coenogonium and the former most probably has the same ecology. Both species appear to be closely related to E. brezhonega and E. epiphyllum.
