A study of the macrolichens diversity from Chaco National Park was conducted. Thirty-six species were identified, three of which are recorded for the first time from Argentina (Dirinaria melanocapa, Pyxine petricola var. convexula, and P. pungens). Moreover, the distribution of 27 species in the country is extended, including new records for Chaco province and, additionally, for other provinces of the region. An identification key for species is here provided and the geographic distribution of each one in Argentina was revised.
