Reported from Santa Cruz by Calvelo & Liberatore (2002). Redón (1985) reported it from basaltic volcanoes in the eastern Patagonian steppes, in a study dealing with a trans-continental Fuego-Patagonian gradient. However, he did not indicate any localities for the lichens he reported, not even which country it was collected from. However, Etayo & Sancho (2008) reported it from the Chilean National Park Pali-Aike, and we can confirm that it is common on volcanic rocks there and on the basaltic volcano caldera of Morro Chico, also in Chile.
