Notes: Coccocarpia pellita is characterized by is flattened, squamiform isidia, as opposed to the cylindrical isidia in C. palmicola (ARVIDSSON 1983). In the material observed by us, we found two different types of isidia: semicircular and entire to marginally incised (Fig. 1F), and elongate-branched, resembling phyllidia (Fig. 1E). ARVIDSSON (1983) accepts this as variation within the species, which we follow here, but this matter requires attention since no such range of variation is observed in the other isidiate species of Coccocarpia.

Coccocarpia prostrata Lücking, Aptroot & Sipman sp. nov. Fig. 5C–H Species nova similis Coccocarpia stellata sed lobulis pro parte irregulariter elongatis asdendentibus ramificantibusque differt. Typus: COSTA RICA. Cartago: Tapantí National Park, Apr 2003, Nelsen 3557d (INB–4031018, holotype; WIS – isotype). Thallus corticolous, foliose, starting as round colonies but eventually covering irregular areas of up to 50 mm across, with lobes in one to several planes. Lobes in first plane thin, flat, 0.2–0.4 mm wide, linear, isotomically branched, leaving interspaces, at lobe tips often multiply branched; lobe apices more or less ascending but tips curved downward and often bifurcate; lobes in second planes thin, irregularly ascending, 0.1–0.3 mm wide, linear, strongly isotomically branched and often radiating towards the lobe tips. Upper surface blue-green when moist, plumbeous to brownish or greenish grey when dry, with thin, longitudinal, white striae. Lower surface pale, with numerous white, unbranched, tapering, 448
0.2–0.4 mm long rhizines not forming a mat but protruding from under the lobe margins and easily visible from above; interior of thalli sometimes with small, rounded adventive lobules along the margins of the lobes, which stay in the same plane as the lobes they are attached to. Apothecia uncommon, central in the thallus, up to 3 mm diam; disc orangebrown, soon immarginate and convex, with a few white, stellately arranged, 0.3–0.4 mm long rhizines attaching the apothecia to the thallus. Ascospores globose, 4–5 µm diam. Pycnidia uncommon, pale brown, c. 0.05 mm diam, marginal along the lobes. Conidia not observed. Distribution and Ecology: Apparently a species confined to very wet submontane to montane rainforests, often growing between bryophyte mats. Known from various collections throughout the Neotropics, including Venezuela (illustration of Coccocarpia 'domingensis' by ARVIDSSON 1983: fig. 35C). Notes: Coccocarpia prostrata belongs in the group of species formed by C. stellata and relatives, characterized by narrow, linear lobes. Its lobe morphology is indeed very similar to that of C. stellata, but the latter has small, circular thalli of adnate lobes. The thalli of C. prostrata often appear almost fruticulose, due to the combination of prostrate main and ascending secondary lobes growing in various planes. Indeed, the new species should not be confused with C. filiformis, which has an entirely fruticulose thallus that might resemble the interior thallus parts of C. prostrata; however, C. filiformis lacks prostrate, linear primary lobes. The phyllidoid secondary lobules of C. prostrata also resemble the phyllidia of C. microphyllina, another new species described above, but that taxon has flabellate primary lobes and the phyllidia are not homologous to the thallus lobes of C. prostrata. ARVIDSSON (1983: 49) included at least one specimen of Coccocarpia prostrata in his concept of C. domingensis. The two species are easily distinguished, however, since C. domingensis has a completely flattened, stellate, distinctly bluish-grey thallus with cylindrical to flattened, true isidia.
