摘要：The present research on Discomycetes in the Kvarner region has produced the first Croatian record of S. barlae, the first record of the genus Scutellinia in the Croatian North Adriatic. This European species is relatively poorly known as it has been so far recorded in only ten localities situated mostly in the Mediterranean area. Collections of the species were examined in detail through a proposed standardised procedure and compared with other collections outside Croatia as well as with the similar species S. minor. Although S. barlae and S. minor inhabit quite different bioclimatic areas, their closest localities in Croatia, are only 45 km distant. The January mean air temperature isotherm of 0 °C clearly separates all so far known localities of these two species.
