Pseudechiniscus cf. juanitae

Material examined: One specimen: Piedmont of Sierra Las Mitras (25°44′55.57′′N, 100°24′11.19′′W, ca. 632 m asl), Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. Lichen ( Physcia stellaris ) on trees ( Parkinsonia aculeta and Celtis pallida ), coll. Antonio Moreno - Talamantes, 7 August 2014.

Comments: Pseudechiniscus juanitae de Barros, 1939 was described from Brazil and later reported from Costa Rica and Mexico ( Kaczmarek et al. 2014, 2015), but the diagnosis for this species is very unclear, and this is why we report our specimen as confer to the nominal taxon.
