Nomenclatural note
Invalid: Serio & Furnari (2021: 146) note "In CAT there are a number of sheets of C. hyblaea collected from along 1 km of coast of Punta d'Aliga, near Ragusa (see Giaccone 1986: 430), but on different dates. Among them there is one herbarium sheet containing a single thallus with the label Holotypus and the word "Typus" handwritten by the same Giaccone. But the Giaccone annotation "Typus" on a herbarium sheet does not constitute the designation of a nomenclatural type because that herbarium sheet was not mentioned in the Giaccone's (1986) paper, and thus it is not effectively published [see Art. 7.10 of ICN (Turland et al. 2018)]." - (07 July 2021) - M.D. Guiry

Taxonomic note
Catra & Cormaci in Cormaci et al. (2012: 347) could not find this taxon at the type locality, the only place from which it is known. - (28 June 2012) - M.D. Guiry
