The new species, Megalospora clandestina Kantvilas, is described from the highlands of Tasmania. It is characterised by a sorediate thallus containing pannarin and zeorin, single-spored asci and muriform ascospores, 30–72 x 12–30 μm. A key to the eight species of the genus occurring in Tasmania is presented.
