Plectocarpon dirinariae Ertz and van den Boom is described from Cape Verde from the thallus of saxicolous Dirinaria applanata. The new species is characterized by convex rounded ascomata not inducing basally constricted galls, non-carbonized sterile stromatic tissue, mainly 4-6-spored asci and 3-septate ascospores. Similar Plectocarpon sp. are discussed. Copyright © British Lichen Society 2012.
