Note: Wirth (1975: 119) uses the spelling Lecidea pilatii and Wirth et al. (2013: 144, 636) use Adelolecia pilatii. This would be correct if the species would have been named after the Czech lichenologist Pilat, but as the name is based on the Swiss mountain Pilatus, the correct epitheton is pilati.
