Abstract

Suboceanic species Thelopsis isiaca Stizenb. and T. rubella Nyl. are reported for the first time for Russia from the Caucasian Black Sea Coast (Krasnodar Territory). Detailed description, habitat characteristic, ecology and general distribution of Mediterranean-Atlantic species T. isiaca are presented. This species grows on the trunk of Juniperus excelsa in the sub-Mediterranean xerothermic undisturbed pistacia-juniper habitats on the Abrau peninsula, Nature Reserve «Utrish». Notes on the Caucasian species of Thelopsis Nyl. (T. flaveola Arnold, T. isiaca, T. melathelia Nyl., T. rubella) are given, and a key to the species is provided.
