Abstract
Mason E. Hale, Jr. (1928-1990) distributed a preliminary "List of Epithets in the Parmelioid Genera" to many of his lichenological colleagues on 10 June 1989. The original list, an alphabetic arrangment of ephitets published in Parmelia s. lat. with their recommended placement in the over 30 segregrate parmelioid genera, was a valuable reference in locating species among the different schemes of classification in use in publications and in herbaria. Here we present an edited and updated version of that list. We have increased the number of entries of epithet combinations from 2,000 in the original list to over 4,000. Of these combinations, approximately 1,500 are accepted at the species rank. The epithets can be accessed through three formats: 1) as a printed list of epithets that are arranged alphabetically, with their dispersions among the segregate genera and Parmelia s. str.; 2) as a printed list of accepted names (in the sense of Hale) with their basionyms and synonyms that are arranged by genus and species; and 3) as a searchable electronic database via http://www.nmnh.si.edu/departments/botany.html.
