A total of 218 taxa of lichens, including one lichenicolous fungus, is reported from Tuxedni Wilderness area in western lower Cook Inlet, Alaska. Lecanora epanora, Micarea denigrata, and Trapeliopsis flexuosa, are new to Alaska. Xanthoria alaskana Thomson sp. nov. is described. Compared with lichen distribution in British Columbia, the lichen flora of the Tuxedni area falls into five distributional categories, the majority of species occurring in coastal, wet interior, and alpine and subalpine ecological-geographic subdivisions. The most important northern hemisphere distributional categories are wide-ranging circumpolar arctic-alpine and boreal, western North American, and amphi-Beringian.
