Parmotrema pseudoreticulatum (Tavares) Hale, 1974
Parmotrema pseudoreticulatum is distinguished by the abundant laminal and capitate soralia, the rare short cilia (up to 0.5 mm), the punctiform to effigurate maculae and the naked under marginal zone.
At first sight, this seems to be a typical Rimelia; however, it is easy to verify that the (false) reticulation is formed by the confluence of the maculae, i.e., the maculae are actually punctiform or effigurate as those of Canomaculina.
Parmotrema pseudoreticulatum was considered to be a synonym of P. reticulatum by Krog & Swinscow (1981), which has distinct reticulate maculae, under marginal zone rhizinate, soralia growing in short lacinules and more frequent cilia. The distinction between them was also molecularly supported (Hawksworth et al. 2003, Divakar et al. 2005).
