Abstract
Hyphomorpha, a genus of theStigonematales, is confirmed to be a phycobiont in twoSpilonema species (Coccocarpiaceae). The morphology of the symbiotic algae inSpilonema dendroides andS. schmidtii is described. The phycobiont inS. dendroides is possiblyHyphomorpha antillarum, the alga inS. schmidtii might be a species related toH. perrieri. New localities for the rare lichens are reported: Alaska forS. dendroides and Ceylon forS. schmidtii.
