Description
Summary:[...]Steiner (1919) raised the taxon to species level. According to B. Dennetière (pers. comm.), the herbarium of Bouly de Lesdain in Dunkirk was destroyed during World War II (see also Grummann 1974) and no duplicates of A. cupreoglauca type material were traced in PC. In order to fix the use of the name Aspicilia cupreoglauca in accordance with the original description and with the general use of this name, we choose a neotype of A. cupreoglauca below. Since A. cupreoglauca was described as a species in 1910 and the specific epithet reticulata was validly published only in 1919 when Steiner raised his L. intermutans var. reticulata to species level, the epithet cupreoglauca has priority over the epithet reticulata at species level.
