Nine species of lichens from Bahia are described as new: Arthonia saxistellata, Cladonia inflata, Cladonia lichexanthonica, Cladonia minisaxicola, Coniocarpon piccolioides, Pertusaria lichexanthofarinosa, Pertusaria lichexanthoimmersa, Pertusaria lichexanthoverrucosa and Physcia sorediiconvexa. Many of the new species contain lichexanthone in the cortex and the substance is reported for the first time from Cladonia.
