Additions and corrections to the checklist published in 2008 are presented. Ten additional species are recognized: Allantoparmelia almquistii, Asahinea chrysantha, Hypogymnia bryophila, Hypotrachyna afrorevoluta, Melanelixia glabratula , Parmelia encryptata , Parmelina atricha , P. cryptotiliacea , Parmotrema cinereopruinata , and Punctelia rudecta . Myelochroa subaurulenta is deleted, and Xanthoparmelia perezdepazii is also noted as newly described from the Canary Islands. In addition, Cavernularia hultenii is now placed in Hypogymnia , the Canoparmelia crozalsiana group is included within Parmotrema , and Parmelinopsis is treated as a synonym of Hypotrachyna . The typification of the name Lichen quercinus is also corrected with the designation of the original figure as lectotype, and the new combination Hypotrachyna cryptochlora comb. nov. (syn. Parmelia cryptochlora ) is made.
