Abstract: 4 figures. [Cladonia arbuscula subsp. squarrosa and C. stygia are reported for the first time from the Southern Hemisphere.

Chemical and nomenclatural notes are also made for C. stygia, C. rangiferina, C. laevigata and C. confusa. Authors discuss evidence against the generic segregation of Cladina.
