Summary Chemical studies on the type specimens of species of the lichen genus Alectoria Ach. have been used to clarify the nomenclature of several species. The following nomenclatural changes are made: A. capillaris (Ach.) Cromb. (= A. implexa auct. mult., non (Hoffm.) Nyl.; barbatolic acid), A. implexa (Hoffm.) Nyl. (= A. zopfii Asah., A. catharinae Räs.; psoromic acid), A. pseudofuscescens Gyeln. (= A. subtilis Mot., A. norsticta Mot.; norstictic acid). The identity of A. furcellata R. Sant., A. patagonica R. Sant., and A. subsarmentosa Stirt. and the nomenclature of A. nidulifera Norrl. ex Nyl. have also been investigated.
