Abstract

Arcyria marginoundulata Nann.-Bremek. & Y. Yamam. is recorded for the first time in South America from collections made in areas of Cerrado, also known as the Brazilian Savanna. This species has a restricted occurrence in Latin America, where it has been found in Mexico, Panama, and now Brazil, with all obtained from moist chamber cultures. In addition to updating the distribution of this species, we describe a variation in its natural grayish-white color to an orange hue for reasons yet to be defined.
