Abstract

RESUMO -(Revisão nomenclatural e taxonômica de liquens foliícolas e respectivos fungos liquenícolas registrados para o Estado de Pernambuco, Brasil, por Batista e colaboradores). Foram revisadas as coleções de liquens foliícolasPalavras-chave -liquens foliícolas, Brasil, nordeste, Chaves Batista ABSTRACT -(Taxonomic revision of foliicolous lichens and their lichenicolous fungi as registered for Pernambuco State, Brazil, by Batista and co-workers). We revised the collections offoliicolous lichens made by the Brazilian mycologist Augusto Chaves Batista and his coworkers in Pernambuco state, Brazil. The study was divided into three parIs: (I) compilation and nomenclatural revision of the names published and used by Batista el ai.; (2) taxonomic revision of the specimens determined by Batista el ai.; (3) identification of specimens present in the collections but not registered by Batista et aI. The studied material comprises 474 collections, with 1,130 specimens identified by Batista and his group, to which these authors applied 55 generic and 159 specific names. The nomenclatural revision presented here showed that these correspond to 36 valid generic and 101 valid specific names, besides II l10mina dubia. However, the taxonomic revision of these 1,130 specimens revealed that no more than 37 species in 16 genera were correctly identified, whereas the remaining names represent incorrect determinations. In the present study, we identified an additional 1,670 specimens not recognized before by Batista et aI. As a final result of this investigation, we revised 2.800 specimens which actually belong to 37 genera and 134 species of foliicolous lichens andlor lichenicolous fungi .

Sixty years of contributions by Augusto Chaves Batista and his collaborators to mycology

“…Another taxonomic revision performed by Lüking et al (1999) studied '2,800 specimens identified by Batista and his group, belonging to 37 genera and 134 species of foliicolous lichens and/or lichenicolous fungi'. The most part of these materials were collected in the Amazon region in Brazil, totalizing about 9,000 collections, 18,000 specimens and 250 names belonging to 38 genera and 68 new species (Silva & Minter 1995, Lücking et al 1998, 1999. inct.florabrasil.net/participantes/herbarios-curadores/urm/) has a collection of more than 80,000 fungal records and 46,000 exsiccates, and it is considered one of the largest collections of fungi in Latin America.…”

Revisão do Herbário URM: novas ocorrências de Aphyllophorales para a Amazônia brasileira

“…Ao longo dos últimos 15 anos, algumas exsicatas depositadas no URM foram revisadas (Lücking et al 1999, Cáceres & Lücking 2002, Maia & Gibertoni 2002, Drechsler-Santos et al 2008, Pereira et al 2008, contribuindo assim para o conhecimento sobre a biodiversidade mundial e situação nomenclatural das espécies.…”
