Abstract

Peltula species occur in arid and semi-arid environments, with new species being regularly described
worldwide. Lichen diversity is being studied in the diverse but poorly known Midwest region of Brazil, and
new species and records are being proposed. In this paper, Peltula anthracina is proposed as new to science,
and P. leptophylla and P. lingulata are reported as new records from Mato Grosso do Sul state. As it is a
region highly threatened by the expansion of agricultural activities, the authors highlight the importance of
the conservation of native flora to preserve lichens’ hidden diversity.

Key words: arid habitat, cyanolichen, diversity, fire forest, new species.





Resumo

Espécies de Peltula ocorrem em ambientes áridos e semiáridos e espécies novas têm sido constantemente
descritas em todo o mundo. Neste mesmo sentido, a diversidade de liquens está sendo estudada na diversa,
porém pouco conhecida, região centro-oeste do Brasil, e espécies e registros novos têm sido descobertos.
Como parte do resultado, Peltula anthracina é proposta como nova para a ciência, e P. leptophylla e P.
lingulata como novos registros para o estado de Mato Grosso do Sul. Como a região é altamente ameaçada
pela expansão das atividades agrícolas, os autores destacam a importância da conservação da vegetação natural
para preservar a diversidade oculta dos liquens.
