Cresporhaphis wienkampii (J. Lahm ex Hazsl.) M.B. Aguirre

Syn.: Leptorhaphis wienkampii J. Lahm ex Hazsl.

Non- or doubtfully lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a mainly temperate species found on rough bark of Salix, Robinia, deciduous oaks, mainly along bark furrows; certainly more widespread. The species is doubtfully lichenised: photobionts were reported from British material only.
