Acknowledgements

M.Z. wishes to thank Arve Elvebakk who made it possible for him to take part in the Nordic Lichen Society’s meeting in Troms, Norway, in 2003, where type material of Sphaerellothecium stereocaulorum was collected. He is also greatly indebted to V. Bakalin, L. Biazrov, G. Frost, I. Makarova, I. Safronova and V. Schtrik who put their undetermined lichen collections at his disposal. Paul Diederich and Vagn Alstrup are thanked for valuable comments on the manuscript, Andreas Beck and Jan Ingenhaag for the help with photos. The study of M.Z. was partly supported by grants of the St-Petersburg Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the basic research programme “Origin and evolution of biosphere” of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the “Hospitationsprogramm der Bayerischen Staatskanzlei”.
