Notes on the circumscription of the lichens Lecanora leprosa and L. sulphurescens (Lecanoraceae, lichenised Ascomycotina)
Lecanora leprosa and L. sulphurescens are two commonly misidentified pantropical lichens. A detailed circumscription is presented to help overcome such difficulties. Both species contain a chemosyndrome of chlorodepsidones based on gangaleoidin. The new depsidone chlorolecideoidin (methyl 2,4,9-trichloro-3,8-dihydroxy-1,6-dimethyl-11-oxo-11H-dibenzo[b,e][1,4]-dioxepin- 7-carboxylate) has been shown to be a minor component of both species.Lecanora leprosa und L. sulphurescens sind zwei häufig fehlbestimmte pantropische Flechten. Eine ausführliche Beschreibung der beiden Arten wird vorgelegt. Beide Arten enthalten ein auf Gangaleoidin basierendes Chemosyndrom von Chlordepsidonen. Das neue Depsidon Chlorlecideoidin (Methyl 2,4,9-Trichlor-3,8-dihydroxy-1,6-dimethyl-11-oxo-11Hdibenzo[ b,e][1,4]-dioxepin-7-carboxylat) wird beschrieben. Es kommt in beiden Arten als Nebeninhaltsstoff vor
New species of Parmeliaceae (lichenized Ascomycotina) from South America
The species Flavoparmelia quichuaensis Elix & T. H. Nash, Hypotrachyna divaricatica Elix & T. H. Nash, Hypotrachyna goiasii Elix & Nash, Hypotrachyna hypoalectorialica Elix & T. H. Nash and Relicina xanthoparmeliformis Elix & T. H. Nash are described as new to science
New species and new records of buellioid lichens (Physciaceae, Ascomycota) from New Zealand
Amandinea rangitatensis Elix & H.Mayrhofer, Buellia haywardii Elix, A.Knight & H.Mayrhofer, B. maungatuensis Elix & H.Mayrhofer, B. papanui Elix & H.Mayrhofer, and Tetramelas allisoniae Elix, H.Mayrhofer & Glenny are described as new to science. Rinodinella fertilis var. hypostictica (Elix) Elix is recorded for the first time from New Zealand. Tetramelas allisoniae also occurs in Tasmania
Additional taxa and new reports in the genus Pertusaria (Pertusariales, lichenised Ascomycotina) from Queensland and Norfolk Island (Australia)
Five new species, Pertusaria dayi, P. glabra, P. heinari, P. montoensis, P. stenospora and a new combination, Pertusaria aphelospora, are reported from Australia. In addition, Pertusaria phulhuangensis described from Thailand, P. karkarensis, described from Papua New Guinea, and P. virensica, described from Florida, are reported from Australia for the first time
Seven new species of Australian Pertusaria (Pertusariales, lichenised Ascomycota) from New South Wales
Seven new species, Pertusaria albula, P. dharugensis, P. ochrodigitula, P. pinnaculata, P. placocarpa, P. puttyensis and P. scabrida from New South Wales are reported as new to science
Five new Caloplaca species (Teloschistaceae, Ascomycota) from Australia
Five new species of Caloplaca, C. mallacootensis, C. montenegrensis, C. rexii, C. rossii, and C. subgyalectoides are described, illustrated and compared with closely related taxa
Endemism in the genus Pertusaria (Pertusariales, lichenized Ascomycota) from the Galapagos Islands
This revision of Pertusaria in the Galapagos Islands documents twenty-four species, twenty-two being new to the archipelago. Secondary chemistry correlates well with morphology and anatomy and is particularly useful in distinguishing these taxa. Eight species are described as new to science, and seven are known only from the Galapagos: Pertusaria albineoides, P. cerroazulensis, P. darwiniana, P. medullamarilla, P. stictica, P. thioisidiata and P. xanthoisidiata. Pertusaria lueckingii is new, but it also occurs in Central America (El Salvador). Three new endemic varieties are described based on their chemistry: Pertusaria thioisidiata var. isidiogyrophorica, P. tejocotensis var. stictica and P. xantholeucoides var. thamnolica. In contrast with previous studies on other genera where rates of endemism of 8–10% were observed, in Pertusaria 30–37% of all species and 41–46% of all taxa are considered endemic
