The crustose lichen，En terographa praepallens (Nyl.) Redinger in the family Opegraphaceae is reported
for the second time in Jap an on the basis of specimens collected on maritime rocks in Chiba Pref. and Shizuoka
Pref.，c entral Honshu. The type specimen of this species (H-Nyl 4592) contains two obviously different
elements，of which the saxicolous one can be considered as the holotype from Moji，K yushu. The other is a
corticolous specimen from Sri Lanka cited by Nylander (1900).
