Materials examined. COLOMBIA • Magdalena, Santa Marta, locality of Minca, Bella Vista village , Villa Kelly coffee farm; 11°05.67′N, 074°04.87′W; 1550 m a.s.l., 28 Jun. 2017, K. Ramírez Roncallo leg.; KRR 252; CBUMAG:LIC:424 • Santa Marta, locality of Minca, Bella Vista village , Villa del Sol coffee farm; 11°05.9′N, 074°04.71′W; 1640 m a.s.l.; 29 Jun. 2017; K. Ramírez Roncallo leg.; KRR 326; CBUMAG:LIC:498; KRR 340; CBUMAG:LIC:512; KRR 367; CBUMAG:LIC:539 .

Identification. Soralia, isidia, and phyllidia absent; margins are pseudocyphellate due to the breakage of small lobes. Apothecia with a crenulated margin; ascospores without sporoblastidia ( Pachyspora type) ( Díaz-Escandón 2017).

Ecology and distribution. Heterodermia diademata was recorded in the departments of Casanare, Cauca, Nariño, Risaralda, and Santander, on wood and live fences in the high Andean forest from 1200 to 2500 m a.s.l. ( Díaz-Escandón 2017; Bernal et al. 2020). In SNSM, it was found in coffee crops in the sub-Andean forest, between 1550 and 1640 m a.s.l., on bark.

Identification. Lower surface ecorticate, arachnoid and covered with an ocher pigment. Vegetative propagules absent ( Díaz-Escandón 2017).

Ecology and distribution. Heterodermia flabellata was recorded in the departments of Antioquia, Boyacá, Casanare, Cauca, Cundinamarca, Huila, Meta, Nariño, Norte de Santander, Putumayo, Risaralda, Santander and Tolima, in foothills and high Andean forests and sub-paramo, from 1300 to 3000 m a.s.l., on bark and wood in good condition ( Díaz-Escandón 2017; Bernal et al. 2020). In SNSM, it was found on bark in coffee crops in the sub- Andean forest, at 1550 m a.s.l.
