kueda | Lecanora parmelina |
it might be nomen dubium. Listed in numerous databases, but with no info, and not in Species Fungorum. |

Well, the fact that it is in Index Fungorum and not in Species Fungorum suggests they haven't decided where to put it, so that seems a bit dubious to me. The source of the synonymy listed in CoL (Denkschr. Akad. Wiss. Wien, Math.-Naturwiss. Kl.Vol.: 104 p. 341) might be valid. Hard to follow up on it, though.
I would suggest to swap L. parmelina to L. epibryon ssp. broccha, some sources following Lumbsch's view from 1994.
"Species Fungorum" does not list L. parmelina, as Ken-ichi says, L. epibryon is listed but without subspecies'.
"Index F." lists parmelina without referring as synonym to epibryon ssp. broccha, and lists some vars. and ssp. of epibryon.
In this case the Index is obviousely the updated source, but misses to include treatement by Lumbsch et al. 1994, reporting parmelina as synonym.
Opps. I am new at curating and just added per
http://www.mycobank.org/Biolomics.aspx?Table=Mycobank&MycoBankNr_=367082
Should this be undone? Can it be undone?
Well, I recommend we just leave it here until Species Fungorum adds it. lg_price, it's not clear to me if mycobank is just a nomenclator or if they have opinions about what the current names should be, but either way they are NOT our authority when it comes to fungus. We follow Index/Species Fungorum, so when they update, we can update.
Obviousely no nomen dubium but a distinct taxon:
