Abstract: This study summarizes cyanolichen species known to occur in Iran. Their distribution in the country is mentioned and a key is given for the identification of cyanolichen genera known from Iran. As this group of lichens is very inconspicuous, their identification is very difficult. These species are mostly reported from south, southwest and northeast provinces. As about half of Iran is desert and semi-desert, more research will reveal more species.
