ome deserts on Earth such as the Namib or the Atacama are influenced by fog which can lead to the formation of local fog oases - unique environments hosting a great diversity of specialized plants and lichens. Lichens of the genera    Ramalina   ,    Niebla    or    Heterodermia    have taxonomically been investigated from fog oases around the globe but not from the Atacama Desert, one of the oldest and driest deserts. Conditioned by its topography and the presence of orographic fog, the National Park Pan de Azúcar in the Atacama Desert is considered to be such a lichen hotspot. Applying multi-gen loci involving phylogenetic analyses combined with intense morphological and chemical characterization, we determined the taxonomic position of five of the most abundant epiphytic lichens of this area. We evaluated    Roccellinastrum   spongoideum    and    Heterodermia   follmannii    which were both described from the area but also finally showed that the genus    Cenozosia    is the endemic sister genus to    Ramalina   ,    Vermilacinia   ,    Namibialina    and    Niebla   . As a result, we have described the species    Heterodermia   adunca   ,    C.   cava    and    C.   excorticata    as new lichen species. This work provides a comprehensive dataset for common fog lichen genera of the Coastal Range of the Atacama Desert that can be used as a baseline for monitoring programs and environmental health assessments.
