This corticolous lichen is known from tropical to subtropical areas; to date it has been reported from Bermuda, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Guadeloupe, Jamaica, Mexico, USA, and Trinidad and Tobago ( Wetmore 2007).

ITS sequences were obtained from both collections ( Tab. 1) and BLASTn search showed 97 or 98% of identity to the sequence of C. erythrantha deposited in GenBank (accession no FJ349101). The phylogeny including both sequences will be published elsewhere.
