Abstract

Verrucaria aranensis McCarthy and V. knowlesiae McCarthy are described as new from limestone in western Ireland. Verrucaria mulabilis Borrer is an illegitimate name; moreover, a number of British specimens attributed to it are V. dolosa Hepp. A key to minute-spored, terrestrial saxicolous Verrucariae is provided in which V. subumbrinula Vainio and V. anzianoides Magnusson are reduced to synonymy under V. naeviformis Vainio and V. arctica Lynge, respectively.
