Rosellinula haplospora is new to Russia. Abrothallus peyritschii, Arthonia apotheciorum and Lichenostigma cosmopolites are new to Siberia. Cetraria is a new host genus for Stigmidium microcarpum. Ameroconium cladoniae and Plectocarpon hypogymniae are newly documented on Cladonia alaskana and Hypogymnia tubulosa correspondingly. INTRODUCTION Lichenicolous fungi of Siberia are comparatively ferential interference contrast (DIC) optics. well studied only in its arctic part (Zhurbenko, Microscopical examination was done in water, 2007, 2009a,b). Information on their diversity in 10% KOH (K), Lugol’s iodine directly (I) or after southern Siberia is still very scant (Zhurbenko a KOH pre-treatment (K/I) or Brilliant Cresyl & Davydov, 2000; Zhurbenko & Otnyukova, blue.

Herewith we try to ratio (l/b) of asci, ascospores and conidia (when slightly fill this gap and report from its territory n > 10) are given as: (min–){X-SD}–{X+SD}(–max), 37 species, one of which is new to Russia and where min and max are the extreme values, X three new to Siberia. One species is described the arithmetic mean, and SD the corresponding as new to science; pertinent notes on taxonomy, standard deviation.
