Abstract: | The marine crustose lichen Pyrenocollema halodytes (Nyl.) R. Harris is known to grow on substrates such as limestone, chalk, molluscan shells and barnacles and is consequently considered as a marine lichen. It was formerly placed under the genus Arthopyrenia but together with other lichens from this genus all containing cyanobacteria as the symbiont photobiont was placed under the genus Pyrenocoliema. In this review Pyrenocollema halodytes is being recorded for the first time from the Maltese Islands having been found growing at Mistra Bay on the calcareous plates of the Star Barnacle Chthamalus stellatus found on rocks of the upper mediolittoral zone. |
