| Summary: | In the present work, two species new to science, <i>Bacidia subheterochroa</i> and <i>Bacidina terceirae</i>, are reported among one hundred and five lichens and lichenicolous species reported from the islands Graciosa and Terceira (Azores Archipelago, Portugal). Updated phylogenetic studies of the family Ramalinaceae including these samples show that species of <i>Bacidia</i> are grouped in three different clades: <i>Bacidia</i> s. str. (type species <i>B. rosella</i>), <i>Bacidina</i> (type species <i>Bn. phacodes</i>), and <i>Woessia</i> (type species <i>W. fusarioides</i>). As a result, seven new combinations in the resurrected genus <i>Woessia</i> are here proposed. In addition, a comprehensive checklist of lichens and lichenicolous fungi of two of the islands (including locality and substrate) is provided, with five species being reported from Azores for the first time. |
