A second, updated world list of cetrarioid lichens

Summary, in English

At the present time 135 cetrarioid lichen species can be listed. According to recent revisionary work they are placed into 22 genera. Six new genera (Arctocetraria, Cetrariella, Flavocetraria, Kaernefeltia, Nimisia and Tuckneraria) have been separated since 1993 when the first world list of cetrarioid lichens was presented. The genus Cetrariopsis is included in Nephromopsis in this paper. An alphabetical list of all epithets that have been applied to cetrarioid lichens is given, and the generic name to which they have been assigned is indicated in brackets. The author(s) of each combination, as well as the issue of its valid publication, together with the page and year are also presented. The currently accepted combination is indicated for each epithet. Two new combinations are proposed: Nephromopsis pallescens var. citrina (Taylor) Thell & Randlane and Nephromopsis laii (Thell & Randlane) Saag & Thell.
