A new species, Rinodina canariensis (lichenized Ascomycetes, Physciaceae), is described.
It usually grows parasitically on saxicolous crustose lichens in Macaronesia
and in the Mediterranean region. It is well characterized chemically by the presence of
gyrophoric acid. The characters of the new species are compared with those of other
taxa of the genus Rinodina containing gyrophoric acid. Rinodina alba and R. atrocinerea
are reported from the island of Madeira for the first time. A short survey of
lichen-parasitic species of Rinodina is given.
