This is the fourth in a series of four papers that treat the 56 species and one incertae sedis in the genus Cladonota Stål. The genus Cladonota contains four subgenera: Falculifera McKamey, Cladonota Stål, Lecythifera Fowler, and Lobocladisca Stål. This paper treats the nine species in the subgenus Lobocladisca, which includes C. bennetti (Kirby), C. biclavata (Westwood), C. clavaria (Fairmaire), C. livida (Buckton), C. lobulata (Stål), C. occidentalis (Strümpel), C. rigida (Stål), C. spatulata (Fairmaire), and C. vexillifera (Goding). Cladonota orientalis (Strümpel) is treated as a new junior synonym of C. biclavata (Westwood). Keys, species illustrations, and diagnoses are given for each species treated.
