Notes
Acarospora peliscypha is an epruinose species; the whitish material on this specimen, as shown on the right side of Fig. 12, is not pruina but represents an accumulation of necrotic material. Although we were unable to find previous published reports of this species from Utah, we did examine one previous collection from that state. This species has been described from the Sonoran Desert as growing on granite only ( Knudsen 2007), however we found the species on partially calcareous sandstone.
