Lepraria nothofagi Elix & Kukwa

Remarks.

Records of L. alpina from Bolivia and Peru ( Flakus and Kukwa 2007; Flakus et al. 2011a) and Lepraria sp. 1 from Antarctica ( Ekman and Tønsberg 2002) belong to L. nothofagi . Here only new record is presented.

Some other records of L. alpina ( Flakus et al. 2011a) should be revised to assess if they represent L. neglecta or L. nothofagi .
