Examples include: (1) Caloplaca interfulgens, previously known from arid territories of northern Africa, Mediterranean Europe and western Asia, is recorded from many sites in Central and Eastern Europe; (2) Caloplaca scabrosa, previously known only from Svalbard, is recorded from the Sudetes in the Czech Republic; (3) Caloplaca substerilis, newly described below, is related to C. ulcerosa but well-distinguishable by phenotypic characters. While C. ulcerosa has a maritime distribution in Europe, C. substerilis is typically a continental species. North American continental lichens called "C. ulcerosa" are phylogenetically closer and more similar to C. substerilis; (4) Caloplaca emilii, newly described below, is the Mediterranean species closely related to C. areolata. It rarely occurs in higher latitudes in Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany; (5) Caloplaca molariformis, newly described below, is a continental species with a marginal occurrence in southern Slovakia; it belongs to the subgenus Pyrenodesmia and is characterized by its thick thallus with fungal and algal tissues arranged in high stacks. The positions within Teloschistaceae of the taxa considered are demonstrated by ITS phylogenies. The distributions of C. areolata, C. emilii and C. interfulgens are mapped. The new species are fully described using more than hundred phenotype characters, and diagnostic characters are indicated separately.} }
