Adelolecia kolaensis (Nyl.) Hertel & Rambold

Syn.: Catillaria tavastiana H. Magn., Lecidea conferenda Nyl., Lecidea dolosula (Nyl.) Vain., Lecidea kolaensis Nyl., Lecidea migratoria Lynge, Lecidea umbratilis (Arnold) Th. Fr., Lecidella umbratilis Arnold

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron) to the alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: an arctic-alpine, probably circumpolar species of basic to weakly calciferous siliceous rocks in exposed situations, with optimum above treeline.
