Material examined: — USA. Mt. Rainer Nat. Park, Bench Lake Trail, 4500 ft., on twigs, 10 June 1968, DTK 8401 (as L. carestiae, UC 1408273!). Notes: — Kowalski (1970 a) did not recognize L. ovoideum as a separate taxon, but considered it to be conspecific with L. sauteri. Interestingly, however, none of the revised specimens of L. sauteri turned out to be L. ovoideum. Only one specimen of typical L. ovoideum was found in the examined material and this collection was originally identified as L. carestiae. Lamproderma carestiae was considered by Kowalski (1970 a) as including L. ovoideum var. cucumer Meyl., currently treated at a species level as L. cucumer (Meyl.) Nowotny & H. Neubert. Lamproderma ovoideum occurs in Europe, North and South Americas, Asia, Australia and New Zealand (Stephenson et al. 1992, Stephenson & Johnston 2003, Stephenson et al. 2007 a, b, Stephenson & Shadwick 2009, Poulain et al. 2011, Ronikier & Lado 2015).
