We collected specimens of Haematomma spp. while investigating the lichen biota in Miyazaki Prefecture<br />

on the island of Kyushu. Haematomma spp. are attractive because of their reddish apothecia. However,<br />

there have been a few description related this genus in Japan. Now, seven taxa, H. africanum, H. fauriei, H. persoonii,<br />

H. puniceum subsp. pacificum, H. puniceum subsp. puniceum, H. puniceum subsp. esoredioatum were<br />

listed in Japanese species (Harada et al. 2002), based on papers of Sato (1941) and Asahina (1964). Staiger &<br />

Kalb (1995) reported only three Japanese Haematomma, H. africanum, H. fauriei and H. persoonii. Our and herbarium’s<br />

specimens were examined by morphological, anatomical and chemical studies. Constituents of thalli<br />

were identified by HPLC with a photodiode-array detector. H. collatum and H. accolens are here reported for the<br />

first time from Japan. H. collatum is distributed in islands of Honshu and Kyushu in a warm temperate zone. H.<br />

accolens is found in only Miyazaki Pref. H. fauriei and H. persoonii were also identified. H. fauriei is distributed in<br />

a cool temperate zone; on the other hand, H. persoonii is done in a warm temperate zone. H. puniceum subsp.<br />

pacificum and H. puniceum subsp. puniceum were not recognized. It is supposed that these two species may be<br />

mistaken with H. collatum. Consequently, we confirmed five species, H. accolens, H. africanum, H. collatum, H.<br />

fauriei and H. persoonii in Japan.<br />
