Abstract

A revision of the genus Absconditella in the Netherlands resulted in the discovery of a new species—A. rubra. A formal description is given as well as notes on other Absconditella species mainly from the Netherlands. It is the first known real epiphytic species of the genus Absconditella s.l. in Europe. A key to the ten known Absconditella species in Europe is provided.
