mens collected by the first author during 1994-2012 composed the material for this study. There was no special focus on any systematical or ecological group of lichens, and all epilithic, epiphytic, epigeic and parasitic lichens not recorded previously for the Altai Mts. or its administrative subdivisions are included. Morphological and anatomical characters were analyzed by applying standard light microscopical methods. Full label data of the examined specimens are provided for every species. Altitudes are indicated in meters above sea level. The name of the collector E.A. Davydov is contracted to ED. Voucher specimens are deposited in the herbaria ALTB, LE, FR and PE.

Alectoria sarmentosa (Ach.) Ach.

An arctic-alpine species known from many locations in Eurasia, North and South America (Thomson, 1984; Urbanavichus, 2010). It was reported for the Altai Republic by Sedelnikova (1990) and is also known from the Khangai in Mongolia (Biazrov et al., 1989). In the Altai Mts, it grows on wood, twigs of shrubs, or on soiled stones. New for Kazakhstan and Altaisky krai.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altaisky krai, Zmeinogorsky district, Tigireksky range, headwaters of Bolshoy Tigirek River at 11,5 km N of Tigirek settlement and 3 km SE of Razrabotnaya Mt., 51°02'53'' N, 83°00'27'' E, alt. 1540-1600 m, mountain tundra, on wood, 21 VII 2012, ED 7328 (ALTB); Kazakhstan, Vostochno-Kazakhstanskaia oblast', Katon-Karagaisky district, Katunsky range, ca. 28,5 km E from the Archaty settlement, right bank of the Bukhtarminskoye Reservoir, Larix si-birica - Pinus sibirica forest with Vaccinium vitis-idaea, 49°16'23'' N, 86°57'08'' E, alt. 2150 m, on soil with rotten wood, 30 VIII 2012, ED 7295 (ALTB); same district, Yuzhny Altay range 21 km S from Uryl' settlement, at the headwaters of the left junction of the Kara-Kaba River, 49°04'16.2'' N, 86°16'03.1'' E, alt. 2230 m, yernik, amidst the Betula nana branches, 6 IX 2012, ED 7294 (ALTB); same place, 49°03'27'' N, 86°16'31'' E, alt. 2400 m, yernik, amidst the Betula nana branches, 6 IX 2012, ED 7296 (ALTB).

Arthonia apatetica (A. Massal.) Th. Fr.

This inconspicuous boreal species has been reported from Europe, Asia and North America (Brodo, 1995; Santesson et al. 2004; Urbanavichus, 2010; Wirth, 1995). It is often confused with closely

related Arthonia species such as A. exilis (Flörke) Anzi and A. muscigena Th. Fr. (Coppins, 1983, 1989). It has been reported for Siberia (Sedelnikova, Taran, 2000) and Mongolia (Khentey: Hauck, Javkhlan, 2006) but is new for the Altai Mts.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altai Republic, Ust'-Koksinsky district, Katunsky range, S bank of Tal'menie Lake, left bank of Ozyornaia River, slope with NW exposition, 49°48' N, 85°49' E, alt. 1516 m, Pinus sibirica - Picea obovata forest, on bark of Sorbus sibirica, 15 VII 2000, ED 6984 (ALTB).

Arthrorhaphis citrinella (Ach.) Poelt

An almost cosmopolitan species reported for Russia from the Arctic (Vrangel I., Yamal, Taimyr, Yakutia, Novosibirskie Is.), Murmansk region, Karelia, Komi Republic, Leningrad region, Central Russia, Ural, Siberia (Baikal, Pribaikalie, Krasnoyarsk territory), Chukotka, Far East (Andreev et al., 1996; Fadeeva et al., 2007; Handbook ..., 2008; Kuznetso-va et al., 2007; Urbanavichus, Urbanavichene, 2004; Urbanavichus, 2010; Urbanavichus et al., 2008).

The species is characterized by a granular-areolate, sorediate, greenish gray-yellow to lemon-yellow thallus, flat black apothecia, as well as needle-shaped spores of 7-12 cells, with an elongate tail. It grows on sandy soil, sometimes parasitic on Baeomyces rufus.

It was reported for the Altai Mts. from Mongolia, and also occurs in Khangai (Golubkova, 1981; Schubert, Klement, 1971). New for Russian Altai (Altaisky krai).

Specimens examined: Russia, Altaisky krai, Zmeinogorsky district, Tigireksky range, 13 km S from the community of Tigirek, near the headwaters of the Irkutka River, 51°02'24'' N, 83°01'12'' E, alt. 1675 m, vegetation islands (Juniperus sp., Bergenia crassifolia, Salix sp.) among stonefield and rocks, 27 VII 2011, ED 7094 (ALTB).

Bacidia beckhausii Körb.

This inconspicuous species, widespread in the boreal and temperate zone and recently reported by Davydov & Printzen (2012a) from the Altai Mts. (Altai Republic, Ust'-Kansky district) was also found in Altaisky krai.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altaisky krai, Zmeinogorsky district, Tigireksky range, right bank of the Belaya River, 7 km upstream to the mouth of the Berlozhia River, 50°57' N, 83°03' E, alt. 717 m,

Abies sibirica - high grasses forest, on lignum, 7 VII 2006, ED 6982 (ALTB), Altai Republic, Ust'-Kansky district, Katunsky range, E bank of Nizhne-Multinskoe Lake near the headwater of Multa River, 50°01' N, 85°51' E, alt. 1627 m, Pinus sibirica -Larix sibirica forest, on bark of Lonicera altaica, 2 VII 2000, ED 7063 (ALTB).

Catillaria erysiboides (Nyl.) Th. Fr.

This boreal Holarctic species with a scattered distribution was found in Russia in Karelia, Komi Republic, Ural, West Siberia (Tyumen Region) and South of the Far East (Fadeeva et al., 2007; Handbook ..., 1998; Paukov, Mikhailova, 2011; Urbanavichus, 2010), growing on wood and bark of coniferous trees. It seems more widely distributed within the boreal zone, but may have been overlooked due to its small size. This species different from the closely related Catillaria nigroclavata (Nyl.) Schuler by its light-coloured apothecia, as well as by the morphology of the spores, one cell always being larger than the other. Puttea exsequens (Nyl.) Printzen & Davydov is also externally similar but is characterized by unicellular ascospores. New for South Siberia.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altaisky krai, Zmeinogorsky district, Tigireksky range, right bank of the Belaya River, 7 km upstream to the mouth of the Berlozhia River, 50°57' N, 83°03' E, alt. 717 m, Abies sibirica - high grasses forest, on wood, 7 VII 2006, ED 6983 (ALTB).

Chrysothrix chlorina (Ach.) J R. Laundon

[TLC: vulpinic a., calicin & zeorin]

This bipolar species is characterized by a thick, bright yellow, often areolate, powdery thallus. It grows mainly on siliceous rocks. The presence of vulpinic acid and zeorin distinguishes it from other species of the genus Chrysothrix and from sterile thalli of Psilolechia lucida (Ach.) M. Choisy. The species was reported for the Russian and Mongolian Altai (Golubkova, 1981; Sedelnikova, 1990). It is a widespread species which, in the Altai Mts., occurs both on rock (common) and bark (rare). It is reported here as new for the West Altai (Altaisky krai).

Specimens examined: Russia, Altaisky krai, Soloneshensky district, Bashchelaksky range, valley of Shinok River, downstream of the waterfall, 51°21.27' N, 84°34.06' E, alt. 1035 m, mixed forest (Picea obovata, Abies sibirica, Betula pendula, Sa-lix sp., Sorbus sibirica, Populus tremula, and Pinus

sibirica), on a cliff near the River, 29 VI 2003, ED 6096 (ALTB); same locality, on bark of Picea obovata, 29 VI 2003, ED 6097 (ALTB).

Cladonia foliacea (Huds.) Schaer.

The species is known from Europe, Macaro-nesia, South and West Asia and North Africa, but in Russia it is restricted to the European part and South Ural (Urbanavichus, 2010). It was also reported from Kazakhstan including Kazakhstanian Altai (Andreeva, 1978) and Mongolia (Khangai: Biazrov, 1989). More recently, it was recorded from Siberia (Davydov, 2001) and included to the Red Data Book of the Altaisky krai (Davydov, Skatchko, 2006). It was difficult to differentiate this species from the closely related C. convoluta (Lam.) Anders, which has recently been synonymized with C. foliacea (Pino-Bodas et al., 2010). G.P. Urbanavichus (2010) points out that all records of C. foliacea from Siberia may probably been erroneous. However, T. Ahti has revised our material from the Altai and reports it also from southern Yakutia based on his unpublished records. New for Altai Republic.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altaisky krai, Kur'insky district, Kolyvansky range at 2 km W of the community of Podpalattsy, 51°14' N, 82°45' E, alt. 500-600 m, 16 VI 1994, ED 1399 (ALTB); Charyshsky district, 5 km upstream of Tulata River from the community of Ust-Tulatinka, Mochnataya mountain, [51°24' N, 83°25' E, alt. 500 m], pine forest, among stones and mosses, on soil, 17 VI 2002, Tsareva E.N., Tsareva T.V. (ALTB No. 179); Altai Republic, Ongudaysky district, right bank of Chuya River at 15 km upstream from its junction to the Katun' River, 50°24'31'' N, 86°52'35'' E, alt. 850 m, on soil in mountain steppe, 9 VII 2012, ED 7329 (ALTB).

Epilichen scabrosus (Ach.) Clem. ex Hafellner

This arctic-alpine species is known in Eurasia and North America as a parasite on the thal-lus of Baeomyces sp. It is characterized by small, areolate, green or greenish-yellow thalli, black, plane apothecia and 2-celled brown spores. The species was recorded for the West Siberia by Davydov (2004), based on a collection from the Katunsky range (Altai Republic). It is reported here as new for West Altai (Altaisky krai).

Specimens examined: Russia, Altaisky krai, Zmeinogorsky district, Tigireksky range, 12 km S from the community of Tigirek, watershed of the Bol'shoi Tigirek and Malyi Tigirek Rivers, subal-

pine meadow, rocks, 51°02'24'' N, 83°01'12'' E, alt. 1675 m, on Baeomyces placophyllus, 27 IX 2011, ED 7097 (ALTB).

Graphis scripta (L.) Ach.

Graphis scripta is widespread throughout the temperate zone of the Northern Hemisphere (Staiger, 2002). It is distributed in Russia throughout the forest zone and in the forest belt of mountains (Urbanavichus, 2010; Urbanavichus, Urbanavi-chene, 2004). Nevertheless, the species is rare in West Altai and is the only crustose species included to the Red Data Book of the Altaisky krai (Davydov, Skatchko, 2006). The second locality in Altaisky krai is formally reported here. At both localities, the species was observed on few tree trunks only. In contrast, it is common in the taiga forest near the Teletskoye Lake.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altaisky krai, Krasnoshchokovsky district, Tigireksky range at 1,5 S form the settlement of Tigirek, Chainaya Mt., 51°07'28,9'' N, 83°01'45,5'' E, alt. 637 m, Abies si-birica - Populus tremula oldgrown forest, on Abies sibirica, 8 III 2009, ED 7116; same place, on Sor-bus sibirica, ED 7117 (ALTB); Charyshsky district, Bashchelaksky range at 6 km NE of the community of Bol'shoi Bashchelak, Grebnyukha Mt., 51°35' N, 84°01' E, alt. 900 m, on bark of Abies sibirica, 17 VII 1996, ED 1874, 1875 (ALTB); Altai Republic, Turochaksky district, Chulyshman tableland, right bank of the Chulyshman River near its junction to the Teletskoye Lake, taiga forest, bark of Abies si-birica, 22 IX 2007, ED 7330 (ALTB).

Lecanora cadubriae (A. Massal.) Hedl.

This circumboreal species was previously reported for Russia from Murmansk, Leningrad, Moscow regions, Karelia, Komi Republic, Tatarstan (Volzhsko-Kamsky preserve), Yamalo-Nenetsky, Hanty-Mansiysky regions, Caucasus (Teberda preserve), Ural, Siberia (Baikalskiy preserve), Kamchatka (Kronotsky preserve) (Fadeeva et al., 2007; Urbanavichus, 2010; Urbanavichus, Urbanaviche-ne, 2004) where it occurs on the bark of conifers, as well as on wood. The species characterized by a granular grayish-whitish thallus, small apothecia (0.2-0.6 mm diam.), with a brownish to blackish-brown, plane to strongly convex disc, and single-celled, narrowly ellipsoidal spores 8-11^3-4 ^m; the thallus and thalline exciple are Pd+ orange, K+ yellow changing to orange or red. New for Altai Mts.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altai Republic, Ust'-Koksinsky district, Katunsky range, SW bank of Tal'menie Lake, left bank of Khariuzovka River, taiga forest (Abies sibirica, Larix sibirica, Pinus sibirica) on bark of Abies sibirica, 49°49' N, 85°48'E, alt. 1516-1800 m, 14 VII 2000, ED 7791 (ALTB).

Lecanora fuscescens (Sommerf.) Nyl.

This circumboreal biatorine species is characterized by broadly ellipsoid ascospores and the presence of fumarprotocetraric and lobaric acids. It may be confused with L. boligera (Norman ex Th. Fr.) Hedl. and L. cadubriae. The former is chemically is identical to L. fuscescens, but differs by its broadly ellipsoid ascospores, capitate paraphyses and often biatorine appearance of the apothecia. The latter is readily distinguished by the presence of the norstictic acid chemosyndrome and narrowly ellipsoid ascospores (Edwards et al., 2009; Lichen ..., 2004). Lecanora fuscescens is widely distributed in arctic and boreal regions of Russia (Urbanavi-chus, 2010; Urbanavichus, Urbanavichene, 2004), is known from Mongolia (Khangai: Biazrov et al., 1989) and was reported for the Altai by Sedelnikova (1990). New for the West Altai (Altaisky krai).

Lecanora phaeostigma (Körb.) Almb.

This Eurasian boreal species has been reported for Russia from the Murmansk region, Karelia, Komi Republic, Moscow and Samara regions, Ural, Tatarstan, Siberia (Baikal, Tyumen region) (Fadeeva et al., 2007; Kataeva et al., 2005; Kortschikov, 2006; Urbanavichus, 2010; Urbanavichus, Urba-navichene, 2004; Vasykov, Kaneev, 2006). It has also been reported for Mongolia (Khangai: Biazrov et al., 1989). The species has whitish-gray thallus with brownish to brownish-black apothecia (0.8 mm in diameter), ellipsoidal spores 8-15^3-5 ^m; the thallus is K+ yellow changing to brown. New for the Altai Mts.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altai Republic, Ust'-Koksinsky Katunsky range, SW bank of Tal'menie Lake, left bank of Khariuzovka River,

taiga forest (Abies sibirica, Larix sibirica, and Pinus sibirica), on bark of Abies sibirica, 49°49' N, 85°48'E, alt. 1516-1800 m, 14 VII 2000, ED 7792 (ALTB).

In Russia it has a scattered distribution and occurs in the arctic, boreal and nemoral zones, as well as in the mountains; it inhabits bark and wood, rarely soil, mosses and rocks (Handbook ..., 1998; Urbanavichus, 2010; Urbanavichus, Urbanavichene, 2004). It is reported for Mongolia from Khentey (Hauck, Javkhlan, 2006). The species characterized by flat to strongly convex, variously coloured, but mostly gray-black or light gray apothecia, sometimes gathered into a bunch, with an olive or blue-green epithecium and oblong-fusiform, mostly 4-celled, but sometimes 2-6-celled spores; it has two types of pycnidia and the thallus reacts C+ red. It is a new record for the Altai Mts. and is probably common in South Siberia, but has been overlooked by researchers.

Micarea turfosa (A. Massal.) Du Rietz

This arctic-alpine species with a bipolar distribution (Europe, Asia, North America, South America, Antarctica) (Czarnota, 2007) occurs in Russia in the Arctic, Murmansk, Leningrad, Tver and Ni-

zhniy Novgorod regions, Komi Republic, Nenetsky territory, Ural, West and East Siberia, Chukotka, Magadan region (Handbook ..., 1998; Kuznetsova et al., 2007; Notov et al., 2011; Sharapova, 2001; Urbanavichus, 2010; Urbanavichus et al., 2008; Ur-banavichus, Urbanavichene, 2004). It grows on peat cushions. It has numerous black apothecia, often confluent in bunches and bulging, with red-brown spots present in the hypothecium; spores are oblong-oval, 1-4-celled. New for the Altai Mts.

Miriquidica deusta (Stenh.) Hertel & Rambold

A bipolar, mainly arctic-alpine species which occurs on silicates in open habitats, also found on boulders and rocks in the lowlands of temperate regions. It was known previously in Arctic (Kola Peninsula, Novaya Zemlya, Taimyr, Chukotka, Alaska, Canada and Greenland), Fennoscandia, Leningrad Region, Estonia, in the mountains of Central and Southern Europe, Central Asia (Kazakhstan Altai, Mongolia, Nepal) and North (Nevada, Mexico) and South America (Venezuela); in the Southern Hemisphere it is known in Australia and New Zealand (Andreev, 2004). The taxon is probably rather widely distributed in mountain areas of South Siberia and Central Asia, but is not mentioned because of the poor investigation of the region. The species is characterized by a rather thin, brown, usually dispersed thallus, flat to convex, glossy areoles with thick epinecral layer, a black continuous hypothallus, wide flat sessile, adpressed to subimmersed apothecia, a colourless hypothecium and rather small spores. It can be distinguished from Miriquidica garovaglii (Schaer.) Hertel & Rambold by the flatter, thinner and more dispersed areoles on a black hypothallus, by the negative reactions with K and P, and by the smaller ascospores. It is distinguished from Lecidea atrobrunnea (Ramond ex Lam. & DC.) Schaer. by the negative medullary reaction with I, and from L. paupercula Th. Fr. by the colourless hypothecium and negative reaction with Р.

The species was found in the alpine belt of the Altai Mts. in stone fields on rocks. New for West Siberia.

Miriquidica lulensis (Helb.) Hertel & Rambold

A widespread in the Arctic (Iceland, Jan Mayen I, Spitsbergen, Franz Josef Land, Kola Peninsula, Novaya Zemlya, Taimyr, Severnaya Zemlya, Chukotka, Arctic Canada, Greenland) occurring in exposed habitats on hard siliceous rocks and boulders enriched in iron. It also occurs in the mountains of North, Central and Eastern Europe (Andreev, 2004). In Russia it has been collected in the Arctic and in Karelia. It is characterized by very small [ca. 0.5-1(1.5) cm diam.], rounded, light-grey thallus edged by a black hypothallus, small plane apothecia with a thin evanescent margin, and a K+ red reaction (norstictic acid). Hence it could be confused with Lecidea lapicida (Ach.) Ach. var. pantherina Ach., but this has more flat and angular areolae and an amyloid medulla. The species was found in alpine belt of the Altai Mts. in stone fields on rocks. New for West and South Siberia.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altai Republic, Ust'-Koksinsky district, Katunsky range, watershed between the Ak-Kem and Kucherla Rivers, 50°00'33.5'' N, 86°27'09.4'' E, alt. 2605 m, 19 VIII 2009, ED 7199 (ALTB).

Miriquidica plumbeoatra (Vain.)

Schwab & Rambold

Probably a boreal-montane circumpolar species. It grows in the temperate zone on siliceous rocks in more or less moist habitats near rivers and waterfalls. It is known from Fennoscandia including the Kola Peninsula and Karelia, and from North America. In Russia it has also been collected in Kamchatka, and was erroneously reported for Buryatia (Andreev, 2004; Urbanavichene, 1998). It is characterized by a dark-grey thallus, darker in places of iron granule concentration, by the completely immersed and adpressed apothecia with a very thin or evanescent margin, an excipulum with a dark-brown

inner part, a reddish-brown hypothecium and by the absence of lichen substances. The species was found in the alpine belt of the Altai Mts. in stone fields on rocks. New for West and South Siberia.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altai Republic, Ust'-Koksinsky district, Katunsky range, upper reaches of the Ak-Kem River, right bank, 50°05'15.6'' N, 86°37'39.3'' E, alt. 2482 m, 7 VIII 2009, ED 7200 (ALTB).

Pilophorus dovrensis (Nyl.) Timdal

This arctic-alpine species grows on the siliceous rocks in Svalbard, North Europe, North America (incl. Greenland) (Foucard, 2001; 0vstedal et al., 2009). It was reported for Russia from the Arctic (Novaya Zemlya, Severnaya Zemlya, Chukotka), Murmansk region (Melekhin, 2011) and North of Siberia (Putorana Plateau) (Zhurbenko, Triebel, 2005). The species is distinguished by the absence of pseudopodetia, the presence of cephalodia with Nostoc or Stigonema, the pale greenish-gray areo-late thallus, black, convex to hemispherical apoth-ecia, and simple colourless spores (15-17^5-7 ^m). New for South Siberia.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altai Republic, Ust'-Koksinsky district, Katunsky range, upper reaches of the Ak-Kem River, right bank, 49°59' 15.6'' N, 86°35'09.3'' E, alt. 2686 m, stone fields and rocks, on stone, 9 VIII 2009, ED 6997 (ALTB).

Protoparmelia cupreobadia (Nyl.) Poelt

This alpine species was previously reported from Europe, Mongolia, Pakistan and North America (Cogt, 1995; Poelt, Grube, 1992; Poelt, Leuckert, 1991). The record ofProtoparmelia atriseda (Fr.) R. Sant. et V. Wirth for the Altai Mts. (Davydov, 2001) refers to P. cupreobadia (Zhdanov, 2011). Both Protoparmelia atriseda and P. cupreobadia belong to the section Phaeonora, which includes species with curved and thread-like conidia, containing of norstictic acid and associating with crustose lichens at least at young stages. Both species initially grow on thalli of Rhizocarpon. Nevertheless, thallus morphology of the species is significantly different. Protoparmelia cupreobadia is characterized by a large thallus up to 10 cm diam., with a distinct margin, plane, contiguous areoles with a black fringe of prothallus, radially elongated marginal areoles, and large apothecia up to 3 mm diam (Fig. 1); in contrast, P. atriseda is recognized by the smaller thallus up to 4 cm in diameter with a rather indistinct

margin, strongly convex to hemispherical, rather scattered areoles that are not radially elongate at the margin, and small, up to 1 mm diam. apothecia. The information on two specimens of Protoparmelia cupreobadia collected in 1990 in the Altai Mts. (Russia) by P.L. Nimis are entered into the herbarial database of TSB (No 15817, 17877) and it is on this data that the species was reported by G.P. Urbanavi-chus (2010) for Russia. This material has not been examined. The species is common within the study area on stones, boulders in stonefields in alpine belt and near the timberline. New for Russia and Kazakhstan.

Rhizocarpon pusillum Runemark

A small parasitic lichen with a bipolar distribution (Eurasia, North America, New Zealand) (Foucard, 2001; 0vstedal et al., 2009), known in Russia from the Arctic (Polar Ural, Novosibirskiye Is., Vrangel Is.) and East Siberia (Handbook ..., 2003; Urbanavichus, 2010). In the Altai, the species is locally common on non-calciferous rocks in the alpine zone as a parasite on Sporostatia testudinea

(Fig. 2) and S. polyspora (Fig. 3). These species were also mentioned as "host"-species in other regions (Poelt, 1990; Rambold, Triebel, 1992). In addition, well-developed thalli of Rhizocarpon pusil-lum were also collected once by us on Aspicilia cf. mashiginensis (Fig. 4), Miriquidica deusta (Fig. 5) and Lecidea sp. Several species of parasitic Rhizo-carpon have been described from different "host"-species (see Poelt, 1990). However, it is known that lichenicolous species of lichens are less host specific then lichenicolous fungi; only about 1/3 of parasitic lichen species in Russia have their "host"-species belonging to only a single genus, whereas 2/3 can parasitise lichens from different genera (Zhurbenko, 2008). The specimens from Aspicilia, Miriquidica and Lecidea all have the morphology, ascospore number, size and septation, as well as spot reactions typical for Rhizocarpon pusillum. Freeliving thalli have never been observed in the Altai. New for West and South Siberia and Kazakhstan.

stream from the Pokrovka settlement, 51°04'46'' N, 83°39'31'' E, alt. 1020 m, Abies sibirica - Betula pendula mountain forest, on bark of Salix sp. 23 VI 2007. china, Xinjiang, Mongol'sky Altai range, west part of Korumtytau Mts, valley of right tributary of Yelt-gol from the mountain situated in 5 km of the Barytumsuktau peak to the mouth, 47°56'15'' N, 88°58'03'' E, alt. 1550 m, s. m. 24 VII 2007, ED 6638 (ALTB, PE); same range, west part of Korumtytau Mts, valley of right tributary of Yelt-gol from the mountain situated in 5 km of the Barytumsuktau peak to the mouth, Larix sibirica - Picea obovata forest on a steep slope (granitoids), 47°52'11'' N, 88°56'50'' E, alt. 1465 m, 25 VII 2007, ED 6631 (ALTB, PE).

Toninia alutacea (Anzi) Jatta

This species is widespread on calciferous rocks in the Northern Hemisphere, growing mainly in mountainous areas (Timdal, 1991). In Russia it was reported from the Caucasus, East Siberia (Yakutia) and South Siberia (Dzherginsky preserve) (Handbook ..., 2003; Urbanavichus, 2010; Urba-navichus, Urbanavichene, 2004). Narrowly fusiform, 4-celled ascospores distinguish this species from the closely related Toninia candida (Weber) Th. Fr., T. diffracta (A. Massal.) Zahlbr. and T. rosu-lata (Anzi) H. Olivier, which have 2-celled, broadly fusiform ascospores. The species has previosuly been reported for the Mongolian Altai (Schubert, Klement, 1971) but is new to West Siberia.

Specimens examined: Russia, Altaisky krai, Soloneshensky district, Bashchelaksky range, valley of Shinok River, downstream of the waterfall, forest with Picea obovata, Abies sibirica, Betula pendula, Salix sp., Sorbus sibirica, Populus tremula, and Pi-nus sibirica, on stone, 51°21.27' N, 84°34.06' E, alt. 1035 m, 29 VI 2003, ED 6925 (ALTB).

Umbilicaria cinereorufescens (Schaer.) Frey

Literature reports of this species from Russia must be considered with care because Golubkova & Savicz (1978) did not clearly distinguish the species from U. vellea (L.) Hoffm. The latter has long, light-coloured, branched rhizinomorphs in addition to short, black, simple rhizinomorphs bearing multi-celullar thalloconidia that are characteristic for both species. We are able to confirm the occurrence of this species at a few localities in the Russian Arctic, Kamchatka Peninsula and South Siberia (Davydov, Zhurbenko, 2008; Davydov et al., 2011a, b), but it may have been overlooked elsewhere. For the Russian

part of the Altai, the species was reported by Wei & Jiang (1993), based on the herbarium material from COLO. The species was also reported for Mongolia from Khangai (Biazrov, 1986). New for Kazakhstan.
