INTRODUCTION
The taxonomy of the Teloschistaceae has undergone a radical change
during recent years, including the creation of a large number of new gen-
era, based mainly on molecular phylogeny (Arup et al. 2013a, Fedorenko et al.
2012, Gaya et al. 2012, Kondratyuk et al. 2013b, 2014a, b, 2015a, c, d, 2016c, d).
Hence the number of genera in the Teloschistaceae has increased from 10 in
the late 1990s (Kärnefelt 1989) to currently 80 (Arup et al. 2013a, Kondratyuk et
al. 2013b, 2014a, c, 2015a, c, d, 2016c, d, Søchting et al. 2014a, b), and the family
is divided in four subfamilies, Brownlielloideae, Caloplacoideae, Teloschis-
toideae and Xanthorioideae (Gaya et al. 2012, Arup et al. 2013b, Kondratyuk
et al. 2015d).
New data on ITS1/ITS2 nrDNA, 28S nrLSU, and 12S mtSSU sequences
for representatives of all four subfamilies of the Teloschistaceae accumulated
during 2015 and 2016 were found to illustrate a number of new robust mono-
phyletic branches within the phylogenetic tree of the Teloschistaceae.
The aim of this paper is to provide descriptions of newly discovered
robust monophyletic branches, which are supported as separate ITS1/ITS2,
nrLSU and mtSSU as combined phylogenetic analysis. Totally 17 robust
monophyletic branches newly discovered in the phylogenetic tree of the Telo-
schistaceae after as separate nrITS, nrLSU and mtSSU, as combined phyloge-
netic analyses are proposed to consider as separate genera. Descriptions of
six new to science species belonging to these genera are provided below, too.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
More than 1,000 Teloschistaceae specimens, collected in 2014–2016 and
deposited in the Korean Lichen Research Institute, Sunchon National Univer-
sity, South Korea (KoLRI), as well as some duplicates in the Hungarian Natu-
ral History Museum (BP) and the Lichen Herbarium in the M. H. Kholodny
Institute of Botany of National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (KW-L) have
been examined using standard microscopical techniques, and hand-sectioned
under a dissecting microscope (Nikon SMZ 645; Nikon, Tokyo, Japan). Ana-
tomical characters were observed using a Nikon Eclipse E200 microscope and
a Zeiss Scope, complemented with a digital camera AxioCam ERc 5s. Sections
of apothecia were tested with water, K and IKI (10% potassium iodide).
Total DNA was extracted directly from the thalli according to Ekman
(1999) and was purified with DNeasy Plant Mini Kit (QIAGEN, Germany).
The nuclear ribosomal RNA gene region including the internal transcribed
spacers 1 and 2 and the 5.8S subunit (ITS) was amplified using the primers
ITS1F (Gardes and Bruns 1993) and ITS4 (White et al. 1990), the 28S LSU using
Acta Bot. Hung. 59, 2017
73
NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
the primer LR5 (Vilgalys and Hester 1990), and the 12S mtSSU using the prim-
ers mtSSU1-mtSSU3R and mtSSU2R (Fedorenko et al. 2009, 2012).
The amplification was done using a Takara JP/TP600 PCR machine (Ta-
kara Bio Inc., Japan). One initial cycle of 5 min at 94 °C was followed by 30
cycles of the following steps: 30 seconds at 94 °C, 39 seconds at 57 °C and
1 min at 72 °C. Amplifications were ended with a final cycle at 72 °C for 10
min. PCR products were then sent to the sequencing facilities of the Genotech
Cooperation, Seoul, South Korea, for cleaning and sequencing. The sequenc-
ing was carried out using the fluorescent marker BigDye and an ABI 3730xl
sequencing machine (Applied Biosystems, Carlsbad, CA, USA).
The consensus sequence was aligned with all related species sequences
retrieved from the GenBank database (Appendix). The consensus sequences
were then deposited into GenBank under the accession numbers KY614390–
KY614518. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using the ITS region and LSU
gene of nrDNA and 12S SSU mtDNA sequences of 166 fungal taxa retrieved
from the GenBank database and the 29 lichen-forming fungi investigated in
this study. Sequence alignment was conducted in BioEdit and a phylogenetic
tree was generated by the maximum parsimony (MP), minimum evolution
(ME), and maximum likelihood (ML) analysis methods. Analyses were con-
ducted using PAUP 4.0b10 on a Macintosh platform (Swofford 2003), and in
Mega 5.0 (Tamura et al. 2011) with the number of bootstrap trials set to 1,000.
Our taxon sampling consists of 52 taxa of the Xanthorioideae (Fig. 1),
72 taxa of the Caloplacoideae (Fig. 2), 48 taxa of the Teloschistoideae (Fig. 3)
and about 74 taxa of the Browlielloideae (Fig. 4) with Brigantiaea ferruginea as
outgroup (Appendix).
Totally 129 sequences on nrDNA and mtDNA are for the first time sub-
mitted to GenBank for 58 specimens of 29 taxa.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Current stage of the phylogenetic tree of the Teloschistaceae
Phylogenetic trees of the teloschistoid, caloplacoid and xanthorioid li-
chens are presented in Figures 1–3 including respectively members of the sub-
families Teloschistoideae, Caloplacoideae and Xanthorioideae only. In this
case all genera, which were described and discussed before, are presented
only by type species, while new groups, discussed in this paper are presented
by larger number (between three and five) specimens/species.
The aim of the phylogentic tree of the subfamily Brownlielloideae was
also to show position of those taxa, which are in somewhat out position to
main clades and subphylas of the subfamilies mentioned, while it includes

somewhat limited list of taxa of the Xanthorioideae, Caloplacoideae and Telo-
schistoideae. Main point of that three was to analyse the position of such
genera as Franwilsia, Eilifdahlia and Huneckia from the Caloplacoideae, genera
Honeggeria, Schackletonia, and Solitaria from the Xanthorioideae and some oth-
ers being in somewhat out position to subfamilies mentioned.
In general from current phylogenetic tree of the Teloschistaceae we can
make conclusion that position of the major part of genera within the subfami-
lies Teloschistoideae and Xanthorioideae is more or less stable. Only a few
new monophyletic branches were added to these subfamilies (i.e. 5 genera to
Teloschistoideae and 3 genera to Xanthorioideae).
Twenty-five monophyletic branches of the subfamily Teloschistoideae
form single phylum, in which there are the following clades: the Teloschistes s.l.
clade with 8 branches, the Follmannia s.l. clade with 4 branches, the Filsoniana s.l.
clade with 3 branches, the Sirenophila–Teloschistopsis–Halophila clade with 5 or 6
branches, as well as two genera i.e. Kaernefia and the genus Stellarangia, which
are positioning in sister position to the Sirenophila-Teloschistopsis-Halophila clade.
New branches, i.e. the newly proposed genus Ikaeria is positioning in
sister position to the genus Yoshimuria in the Teloschistes s.l. clade, the newly
proposed genera Harusavskia and Nevilleiella are in the Filsonniana s.l. clade,
and two newly proposed genera Elixjohnia and Lazarenkoiopsis are positioned
in the Sirenophila-Teloschistopsis-Halophila branch (Fig. 1).
The subfamily Caloplacoideae at current stage includes 2 large subphy-
la, i.e.: the Gyalolechia s.l. subphylum with 9 monophyletic groups belong-
ing mainly to the Mikhtomia s.l. clade, and genera Jasonhuria, Loekoesia and
Gyalolechia s. str. as outgroups to the Mikhtomia s.l. clade, and the Caloplaca s.l.
subphylum with 14 monophyletic groups, which mainly belong to the Calo-
placa s.l. clade, and three genera, i.e.: Blastenia, Fauriea and Rufoplaca forming
the Blastenia s.l. clade.
The genera Huneckia, Franwilsia, and Eilifdahlia are positioned in the out
position to the both subphyla of the Caloplacoideae mentioned.
The newly proposed genera Hanstrassia, Laundonia, Opeltia, and Oxneriop-
sis, are members of the Mikhtomia s.l. clade, while Klauderuiella, Xantaptychia
and Gintarasiella – are members of the Caloplaca s.l. clade (Fig. 2).
There are two large subphyla within the subfamily Xanthorioideae (Fig.
3). Eighteen genera/monophyletic groups of this subfamily form the Xan-
thoria s.l. subphylum among which the genera Flavoplaca and Calogaya are
positioned in the outermost position. Seventeen monophyletic groups form
the Xanthomendoza s.l. subphylum among which Cerothallia and Austroplaca
appeared to be in the outermost position. Additionally to these 35 branches
mentioned above the genera Schackletonia and Honeggeria are positioned in
out position to both subphyla mentioned above. Level of support of 34 mono-
phyletic branches was discussed before (Kondratyuk et al. 2014c, 2015e). Three

groups, i.e.: Huriella, Teuvoahtiana, and Tomnashia are discussed below (in this
paper). Huriella and Teuvoahtiana are members of the Xanthomendoza s.l. sub-
phylum (i.e. of the Xanthomendoza s.l. clade and the Xanthopeltis s.l. clade, re-
spectively), while Tomnashia is a member of the Xanthoria s.l. subphylum and
the Polycauliona s.l. clade (Fig. 3).
The most unstable situation is with the subfamilies Brownlielloideae and
Caloplacoideae and a number of taxa, which appeared to be in out position to
all known subfamilies of the Teloschistaceae. Seven newly proposed genera
are added to the subfamily Caloplacoideae (Fig. 3). The subfamily Brownliel-
loideae itself is almost with the same number of genera as it was in its original
description (i.e. only one genus Dijigiella is added) (Fig. 4). However, the level
of support of this branch is very low. The genus Ikaeria is positioned within
the Caloplacoideae (compare Figs 1 and 4) and the genera Fominiella and Soli-
taria are in the out position to the subfamily Caloplacoideae, while the genus
Solitaria was positioned in the subfamily Xanthorioideae before (Arup et al.
2013a, Kondratyuk et al. 2014c).
The new tendency that the subfamily Brownlielloideae will be divided
into two or more separate subphyla with additional new members of this sub-
phylum is found. However, new divisions of the Brownlielloideae can be ob-
served only, when all monophyletic branches of the Teloschistaceae (as well
as some still not analysed here) are included into analyses. In such case phy-
logenetic analysis is becoming more and more time consuming and in need of
another computer facilities.
DESCRIPTIONS OF TAXA
Dijigiella S. Y. Kondr. et L. Lkös, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819634.
Similar to the genus Marchantiana of the Teloschistoideae, but differs in posi-
tioning in the Brownlielloideae of the Teloschistaceae.
Type species: Dijigiella kaernefeltiana S. Y. Kondr.
Thallus small or indistinct, from endophloedal to corticolous, whitish
grey to grey, continuous or more or less cracked to areolate, mainly distinct
owing to bright yellow or yellow-orange apothecia, in some taxa densely ag-
gregated in large groups.
Apothecia lecanorine to zeorine or biatorine, disc yellow to yellow-orange,
dull brownish yellow to dull yellow-orange; true exciple scleroplectenchym-
atous or “textura intricata” with matrix to paraplectenchymatous with ma-

trix, paraphyses broom-like, richly branched in the uppermost portion; asci
8-spored; ascospores bipolar, hyaline.
Ecology: Growing on bark of trees.
Distribution and species content: It hitherto contains two Australian taxa,
while several taxa will probably be added in future.
Etymology: It is named after the well-known New Zealand lichenologist
David J. Galloway in recognition of his contribution to the lichen flora of the
Southern Hemisphere.
Taxonomic notes: After phylogenetic analysis this genus is positioned in
the subfamily Brownlielloideae of the Teloschistaceae. From molecular data
hitherto available the genus Dijigiella includes two species, i.e. D. kaernefeltiana
and D. subaggregata.
A number of sorediate Australian taxa are still in progress of extracting
DNA and getting sequences, and hopefully some of them will be added to
this genus.
Dijigiella kaernefeltiana S. Y. Kondr., spec. nova
(Fig. 5)
MycoBank nr.: MB 819635.
Similar to Marchantiana occidentalis, but differs in having greyish-greenish
or greyish-whitish thallus, in having zeorine or lecanorine apothecia with bright or-
ange disc and true exciple, in having scleroplectenchymatous or “textura intricata”
true exciple, in having somewhat smaller ascospores, as well as in the lack of asco-
matic acid, ascomatatic and 7-0-methylascomatatic acid.
Type: Western Australia: Wicherina, E. of Geraldton, on the road to
Mullewa, growing on dry shrubs together with Streimanniella michelagoensis,
and species of the genera Caloplaca, Buellia, Teloschistes and Candelariella. Lat.:

rounded and distant, rarely aggregated and somewhat irregular, distinctly
attenuated at the basis and uplifted above substrate level; in section true ex-
ciple to (10–)20–30 m thick in the uppermost and the lower lateral portions,
scleroplectenchymatous or “textura intricata” with matrix and radiating hy-
phae luminas, (10–)20–30 m thick in basal portions paraplectenchymatous
with matrix(?), cell lumina to 4 m diam. (or cells to 7–9 m across); thal-
line exciple to 50–70 m thick, cortical layer absent or only of algal plecten-
chyma; hymenium to 50–60 m high; paraphyses very richly branched at the
tips, broom-like, to 3–4 m diam. at the tips; subhymenium (50–)70–80 m
thick, straw yellow or to straw-brownish; asci 8-spored, with (2–4–)8 adult
bipolar and young ascospores in the same ascus; ascospores bifusiform with
somewhat attenuated ends, narrowly ellipsoid, (7.5–)8–13(–14) × 4.5–6 m in
water, and (7–)8–13(–15) × (4–)5–7(–8) m in K, (in K becoming more or less
widely ellipsoid), ascospores septum (2–)2.5–4 m wide in water and (2–)3–6
m wide in K.
Chemistry: Thalline cortical layer and algal plectenchyma of thalline ex-
ciple, and epihymenium K+ dirty crimson purple in places.
Etymology: Species is named after the well-known Swedish lichenolo-
gist Ingvar Kärnefelt (Lund, Sweden) in recognition of his contribution to li-
chenology, and who has kindly provided for us an opportunity to participate
in a field trip to Australia in 2003–2004 and provided his earlier collections in
our disposal.
Distribution: So far known from type locality in Western Australia.
Taxonomic notes: Dijigiella kaernefeltiana is similar to Marchantiana occi-
dentalis (Elix, S. Y. Kondr. et Kärnefelt) S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, A. Thell, Elix,
J. Kim, A. S. Kondr. et Hur after having dull greenish-greyish or greenish
greyish-whitish thallus, measurements of ascospores and having paraphyses
richly branched in the upper portion and densely twisted above asci, but dif-
fers in having greyish-greenish or greyish-whitish thallus (vs. brown to dark
brown, greenish areoles immersed in bark), and in having zeorine or lecano-
rine apothecia with bright orange disc and true exciple (vs. biatorine), in hav-
ing scleroplectenchymatous or “textura intricata” true exciple (vs. pseudo-
prosoplectenchymatous in lateral portion and paraplectenchymatous in basal
portion), as well as in the lack of ascomatic acid, ascomatatic and 7-0-methyl-
ascomatatic acid, and in having somewhat shorter ascospores (8–13 × 4.5–6
m vs. (9–)11–13(–14) × (4–)4.5–6(–7) m).
Dijigiella kaernefeltiana often growing side by side with Streimanniella mi-
chelagoensis from which it differs in having lighter and thicker (with somewhat
subconvex areoles) thallus (vs. dark brownish-greenish grey to dark brown-
ish grey, smooth or slightly cracked to indistinct), in having much larger and
brighter light yellow-orange apothecia (0.3–0.6 mm vs. ca 0.2–0.3 mm diam.,
lecanorine apothecia with blackish grey or greenish-greyish brown thalline

margin and somewhat dull yellow own margin and dull yellowish-blackish
or yellowish, bluish-greyish to dull dark brownish orange disc), in having
always hyaline ascospores of the same measurements (vs. bipolar ascospores
becoming greyish or greyish-blackish at overmature, somewhat similar to
Rinodina type ascospores), as well as in the lack of neochloroemodin (see also
Kondratyuk et al. 2009). In type collection there is one more crustose mem-
ber of the Teloschistaceae with rather thick to worthy, grey thallus. Unfortu-
nately it was in insufficient amount for the further study. However, Dijigiella
kaernefeltiana differs from this taxon in having lighter brownish-whitish-grey-
ish thallus and in having much brighter dull yellow or dull yellow-orange
disc and own margin of apothecia.
Dijigiella kaernefeltiana is similar to ‘Caloplaca’ ulcerosa Coppins et P.
James, but differs in having K+ cortical layer of thallus or thalline exciple and
algal plectenchyma in both as well as in the lack of whitish or greyish soredia,
and in the lack of pustule-like immersed/ulcer-like soralia. Unfortunately sta-
tus of ‘Caloplaca’ ulcerosa is still uncertain from molecular point of view. After
ITS phylogeny it is positioned in the Caloplacoideae, but data on nrLSU and
mtSSU are still missing for this taxon.
Dijigiella subaggregata S. Y. Kondr. et Kärnefelt, spec. nova
(Fig. 6)
MycoBank nr.: MB 819636.
Similar to Gintarasiella aggregata, but differs in having thinner thallus, in
having smaller and plane apothecia, in having hymenium and subhymenium without
oil, in having smaller ascospores, in having wider ascospore septum, and in corticol-
ous habit.
Type: Australia: Victoria, Camperdown, in the central part of town, Wpt.
64, on bark of Ulmus, growing together with Caloplaca hanneshertelii, and spe-
cies of the genera Opegrapha, Hyperphyscia, Phaeophyscia, Lecanora and Physcia.

Thallus (0.25–)0.5–1.5(–2.5) cm across, usually indistinct, endophloedal
or very thin, whitish or whitish-greyish, well contrasting to darker aggregat-
ed apothecia in the centre of thallus, becoming somewhat greyish or dirty
white among apothecia or to whitish yellow in peripheral zone probably yel-
low tinge owing to numerous young apothecia; seen as very dense aggrega-
tions of dull yellow or dull brownish yellow apothecia. Hypothallus absent.
Apothecia (0.15–)0.3–0.6 mm diam./across, rather small but easily dis-
tinct because often aggregated in very dense aggregations (to 200 apothecia

to dull brownish yellow, matt, without pruina; in section biatorine to zeorine,
where thalline exciple to 30–40 m thick developed only on underside; true
exciple to 20(–40) m thick in the uppermost lateral and to 30 m thick in
the lower lateral portion, and not developed or only to 7 m thick in basal
portion, more or less paraplectenchymatous; hymenium to 55–60 m high;
epihymenium to 15 m thick, dark orange, paraphyses with 1 or 2 uppermost
cells distinctly widened to 3–4(–5) m diam. towards the tips; subhymenium
to 20–30(–40) m thick, hyaline, without oil; asci 8-spored, often very variegat-
ing in measurements within the same ascus; ascospores rather small, but with
rounded ends, mainly widely ellipsoid, widened at the septum, 7–10(–12) ×
(4–)5–6(–6.5) m in water and (8–)9–13(–15) × (5–)6–8(–10) m in K, septum
(2–)3–4(–4.5) m wide in water and (3–)3.5–5(–7) m wide in K.
Chemistry: Epihymenium and outer layers of the true exciple K+ crim-
son purple, somewhat washing out in solution.
Etymology: It is named after similarities to Gintarasiella aggregata.
Distribution: So far known only from type collection, Victoria, southern
Australia.
Taxonomic notes: Dijigiella subaggregata is similar to Gintarasiella aggre-
gata, after having thallus dominated almost entirely by clustered apothecia,
but differs in having thinner thallus (vs. rather pulvinate), in having smaller
and plane apothecia (0.3–0.6 mm vs. 0.3–1 mm wide, becoming convex in the
oldest apothecia), in having hymenium and subhymenium without oil (vs.
hymenium and subhymenium especially heavily inspersed with oil droplets
or irregular oil aggregations), in having smaller ascospores (7–10 × 5–6 m
vs. 10–13.5 × 5–6 m), in having wider ascospore septum (3–4 m vs. 2–3 m
wide), and in corticolous habit.
Dijigiella subaggregata is similar to Athallia cerinelloides (Erichsen) Arup,
Frödén et Søchting, but differs in having endophloedal or very indistinct thal-
lus (vs. light grey, film-like), in having apothecia densely aggregated in large
groups, and in having shorter ascospores (7–10 × 5–6 m vs. 9–13 × 5–7 m).
Dijigiella subaggregata is similar to Cerothallia luteoalba (Turner) Arup, Frö-
dén et Søchting, but differs in having wider ascospore septum (3–4 m vs.
1–1.5 m wide), while ascospores are almost the same (7–10 × 5–6 m vs.
8–12 × 3–6 m).
Dijigiella subaggregata is similar to ‘Caloplaca’ aegatica Giralt, Nimis et
Poelt
(see also comments below the genus Ikaeria), but differs in having smaller as-

cospores (7–10 × 5–6 m vs. 10–15 × 7–9 m), and narrower ascospore septum
(3–4 m vs. 5–8 m wide), in having endophloedal thallus (vs. greyish, dirty
grey, grey-brown), and in having lighter apothecia (vs. orange to dark orange
zeorine, with bright golden margin and disappearing thalline margin).
Dijigiella subaggregata is similar to Fominiella skii (Khodos., Vondrák et
Šoun) S. Y. Kondr., D. Upreti et J.-S. Hur, but differs in having lecanorine to
zeorine apothecia (vs. zeorine to biatorine) and larger (0.3–0.6 mm vs. 0.2–0.4
mm diam.) apothecia, in having smaller ascospores (7–10 × 5–6 m vs. 9–11 ×
4.5–5.5 m) and narrower ascospore septum (3–4 m vs. 4.5–5.7 m wide), as
well as in distribution (vs. the Canary Islands).
Elixjohnia S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819637.
Similar to genus Sirenophila of the subfamily Teloschistoideae, but forming
separate robust monophyletic branch.
Type species: Elixjohnia jackelixii (S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt et A. Thell) S. Y.
Kondr. et J.-S. Hur.
Thallus distinctly zoned initially with brownish or dirty greenish yellow
sterile circles of dull, smooth, continuous peripheral zones or without zonations;
usually very thick towards the centre or evenly continuous; smooth and entire
or distinctly areolate, whitish, yellowish or greyish to bright red or reddish or-
ange; upper surface cracked and eroded, sometimes with isidia-like structures;
medulla often visible through the numerous cracks. Protothallus well devel-
oped or absent. Apothecia common, small, zeorine (in some species at least ini-
tially), lecanorine or biatorine; disc brownish orange or yellowish brown, with a
reddish tinge to dull orange, dark orange-red or scarlet; true exciple scleroplec-
tenchymatous; oil cells in paraphyses of bermaguiana-type (see Kondratyuk et al.
2007, 2009, 2012); asci 8-spored, but 2–4–6 mature bipolar ascospores together
with aborted spores often present; ascospores narrowly to broadly ellipsoid;
conidia broad ellipsoid to broad bacilliform, (2–)2–3 × 1.2–1.7 m.
Chemistry: It contains parietin (major).
Ecology: Species of the genus grow on exposed coastal rocks (quartzite,
granite, basalt and dolerite), at or above the high tide level often together with
each other (i.e. E. jackelixii and E. gallowayi often growing side by side), as
well as together with species of the genera Tarasginia whinrayi (S. Y. Kondr. et

cribrosa (Hue) Søchting, Frödén et Arup and Caloplaca conranii S. Y. Kondr. et
Kärnefelt.
Distribution: Species of this genus widely distributed in southern and
southeastern Australia, Tasmania and New Zealand.
Etymology: Genus is named after the well-known Australian lichenolo-
gist and chemist Elix John Alan (‘Jack’) in recognition of his contribution to
lichenology.
Taxonomic notes: After combined phylogenetic analysis the genus Elix-
johnia is a member of the large Sirenophila-Teloschistopsis-Halophila subclade of
the Teloschistoideae. This branch includes three species, i.e. E. bermaguiana, E.
jackelixii and E. gallowayi after molecular data hitherto available.
Since 2013, when genus Sirenophila was described, situation with taxa of
this branch has been problematic, because the genus Sirenophila was in fact
segregated only on the basis of ITS phylogeny. Only ITS data were provid-
ed for the rather rare Australian taxon S. gintarasii (S. Y. Kondr. et Kärnefelt)
Arup, Frödén et Søchting (Arup et al. 2013a), type species of the genus Si-
renophila.
We were able to get 28S nrLSU and 12S mtSSU data for this taxon from
isotype kept in KW-L and they are presented here (Appendix).
From phylogenetic analysis (Fig. 1) it is seen that the genus Sirenophila s.
str. includes only S. gintarasii and S. cliffwetmorei (S. Y. Kondr. et Kärnefelt) S.
Y. Kondr., recently combines to this genus (Kondratyuk et al. 2015e). Status of
Sirenophila eos, as well as of S. maccarthii is still questionable and should be re-
peatedly analysed, when more molecular data on this phylum will be available.
Two species of this genus, i.e.: E. jackelixii and E. bermaguiana were
compared with Tomnashia rosei (see below), which belongs to the Xanthori-
oideae. Furthermore E. bermaguiana was compared also with Caloplaca incon-
nexa (Nyl.) Zahlbr. (supposedly the Xanthorioideae) and Caloplaca nubigena
(Kremp.) Dalla Torre et Sarnth. (supposedly Caloplacoideae). Molecular data
on Caloplaca inconnexa and C. nubigena are still missing. In original description
E. gallowayi was compared only with Sirenophila eos (Kondratyuk et al. 2007).
Fominiella S. Y. Kondr., D. Upreti et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819638.
Similar to genera Athallia of the Xanthorioideae, but differs in having differ-
ent measurements of ascospores as well as in positioning in distant position from the
Teloschistoideae, as well as in out position to both subfamilies Caloplacoideae and
Teloschistoideae.
Acta Bot. Hung. 59, 2017
88 KONDRATYUK, S. Y., LKÖS, L., UPRETI, D. K., NAYAKA, S., MISHRA, G. K. et al.
Type species: Fominiella tenerifensis S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, A. Thell et T.
Feuerer.
Thallus thin, film-like, inconspicuous, whitish to light grey or pale yel-
lowish. Hypothallus not developed.
Apothecia zeorine to lecanorine or biatorine, disc yellow-orange, own
margin yellow, always paler than disc; thalline exciple white, greyish to yel-
low-white, soon disappearing or permanent, true exciple leptodermatous
paraplectenchymatous; asci 8-spored; ascospores polarilocular, hyaline.
Chemistry: Parietin (major), emodin, parietinic acid, fallacinal and telo-
schistin (trace).
Etymology: This genus is named after the well-known Ukrainian bota-
nist Alexandr Valyljovych Fomin, specialists on cryptogamic plants, who
is founder of several botanical institutions and periodicals in Georgia and
Ukraine including recent institution known as M. H. Kholodny Institute of
Botany, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.
Distribution and species diversity: So far genus includes two species,
one of which, i.e.: Fominiella skii known from arid and semiarid conditions of
southern and southeastern Europe and the Near East of Asia, and the second
(F. tenerifensis) is known only from the Canary Islands.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: After combined phyloge-
netic analysis the genus Fominiella is positioned in out position to all known
subfamilies (Fig. 4). The genus includes two species, i.e.: F. tenerifensis and F.
skii after molecular data hitherto available.
In original description (Vondrák et al. 2011) Fominiella skii was already
compared with members of the following genera of the subfamily Xanthori-
oideae, i.e.: Athallia Arup, Frödén et Søchting (i.e.: A. cerinelloides (Erichsen)
Arup, Frödén et Søchting), and Xanthocarpia (i.e.: X. raesaenenii (Bredkina) S.
Y. Kondr.), with which it is similar in having very reduced thallus. Reduction
of the thallus has occurred independently several times in the evolution of the
Teloschistaceae (Kärnefelt 1989; Vondrák et al. 2011).
On the basis of ITS phylogeny Fominiella skii was also included into the
genus Athallia (Arup et al. 2013a). However, providing data on nrLSU and
mtSSU has allowed showing its positioning in rather distant position from
Xanthorioideae and being in somewhat out position to both subfamilies Calo-
placoideae and Teloschistoideae.
ITS sequence of the type specimen of Fominiella skii (HM582191) provided
in original paper (Vondrák et al. 2011) is included into analysis. However, 28S
nr LSU and 12S mtSSU were obtained from material of F. tenerifensis within
this study only. Unfortunately we were not able to get ITS data on material in-
vestigated, while a number of special attempts were done. So this genus is in

ple; paraphyses almost not widened towards the tips, with uppermost cells
to 3–3.5 m diam. in water (and to 2–3 m diam. in K), richly broom-like
branched (better seen in K), with oil droplets, but very indistinct or badly seen
owing to small measurements, to 2–3 m diam. (better seen in K); subhymeni-
um 20–30 m thick; asci 8-spored; ascospores elongated ellipsoid, 12–13(–15)
× (5.5–)6–7 m in water and 12–14(–15) × (5–)6–7 m in K; septum 5–6(–7) m
wide in water and (6–)7–8 m wide in K.

ria aurantiellina.
Etymology: It is named after type collection, Tenerife Island of Spanish
Canary Islands.
Distribution: It is so far known from several places within the same Ten-
erife Island, Spain, Canary Islands.
Taxonomic notes: Fominiella tenerifensis is similar to F. skii, but differs
in having well-developed thalline exciple, in having longer and wider as-
cospores (12–13(–15) × (5.5–)6–7 m vs. (7.5–)9–11(–12.8) × (3.5–)4.6–5.9(–6.5)

and in the lack of true exciple in lateral portion.
Fominiella tenerifensis is similar to Athallia cerinelloides (Erichsen) Arup,
Frödén et Søchting, but differs in having wider ascospore septum (5–6(–7)
m vs. 3–4 m wide), while ascospores are almost the same (12–13(–15) ×
(5.5–)6–7 m vs. 9–13 × 5–7 m).
Gintarasiella S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819640.
The genus is characterised by a unique combination of the following characters
among representatives of the subfamily Teloschistoideae, i.e.: pulvinate habit, with
densely clustered apothecia that essentially obscure the thallus, a very densely in-
spersed hymenium and subhymenium and relatively small ascospores.
Type species: Gintarasiella aggregata (Kantvilas et S. Y. Kondr.) S. Y. Kondr.
et J.-S. Hur.
Thallus crustose, areolate, forming pulvinate patches, dominated almost
entirely by clustered apothecia, yellow-orange. Apothecia from zeorine to
biatorine, disc deep orange, somewhat darker than thallus, own margin con-
colourous with disc; true exciple paraplectenchymatous in basal portion and
composed of radiating more or less parallel hyphae in the lateral portions;
hymenium and subhymenium heavily inspersed with oil droplets or irregu-
lar oil aggregations; asci 8-spored; ascospores polarilocular, ellipsoid, hyaline.
Conidiomata and conidia not observed.
Chemistry: Thallus and all elements of apothecia K+ crimson purple.
Etymology: This genus is named after our friend and colleague, Dr Gin-
taras Kantvilas (Hobart, Tasmania), in acknowledgement of his enormous con-
tributions to the taxonomy of the Tasmanian and Australian lichens, especially.
Distribution and species diversity: So far the genus includes only type
species, which known from limestone outcrops of Kangaroo Island, Southern
Australia.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: After separate and com-
bined phylogenetic analysis the genus Gintarasiella belongs to the subfamily
Teloschistoideae, where it forms separate robust branch within the Sireno-
phila-Teloschistopsis-Halophila subphylum as the most separate outgroup to
this subphylum. From molecular data hitherto available the genus Gintarasiel-
la includes only type species G. aggregata.
In original description the type species of this monotypic genus was
already compared with members of the following genera of the subfam-

NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
ily Xanthorioideae, i.e.: Flavoplaca (i.e.: F. mereschkowskiana (S. Y. Kondr. et
Kärnefelt) Arup, Frödén et Søchting), Cerothallia (i.e. C. yorkensis (S. Y. Kondr.
et Kärnefelt) Arup, Frödén et Søchting), and Xanthocarpia (i.e.: X. jerramungu-
pensis (S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt et Elix) S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, A. Thell, Elix, J.
Kim, A. S. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur) (Kantvilas 2016).
From morphological point of view after having inspersed hymenium and
subhymenium it can be also compared with the members of the genus Franwil-
sia (subfamily Caloplacoideae), as well as after having pulvinate thallus with
some Calogaya species (i.e. C. lobulata (Flörke) Arup, Frödén et Søchting known
from bark of introduced trees in Tasmania) of the Xanthorioideae. However, it
differs in having smaller ascospores and different chemistry, as well as in the
positioning in the subfamily Teloschistoideae of the Teloschistaceae.
Hanstrassia S. Y. Kondr., gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819641.
Similar to genus Elenkiniana, but differs in having mainly areolate and sore-
diate thallus, and in positioning in separate robust monophyletic branch within the
Mikhtomia s.l. clade of the Caloplacoideae.
Type species: Hanstrassia lenae (Søchting et G. Figueras) S. Y. Kondr.
Thallus saxicolous or terricolous, areolate, effigurate or only weakly lo-
bate at the margin, yellowish grey, pale yellow, ochre to orange or brownish
yellow, often with a whitish pruina; areoles thick; soralia scarce or numerous,
labriform, usually marginal, yellowish to ochre, usually brighter than the thal-
lus; cortical layer pseudoprosoplectenchymatous or scleroplectenchymatous;
medulla dense, consisting of interwoven hyphae, without a clear orientation.
Apothecia lecanorine to zeorine, few and dispersed; disc flat, later
sometimes rather convex, deep orange to brownish, sometimes with whitish
pruina at initial stages; true exciple prosoplectenchymatous; asci 8-spored;
ascospores polarilocular. Conidia bacilliform, 3–3.5 × 1–1.25 m.
Chemistry: Anthraquinone fragilin and depsidones caloploicin and vi-
canicin (major), and anthraquinones parietin, emodin, and depsidone isoful-
gidin in small concentrations.
Ecology: It grows on limestone and calcareous schist of vertical cliffs
in dry continental conditions or on sandy soil in mountainous deserts of the
Asian continent.
Etymology: It is named after the well-known Estonian lichenologist Hans
Trass (02.05.1928–14.02.2017) in recognition of his contribution to lichenology
and to geobotany, as well as for his contribution to Eurasian lichen flora.

Distribution and species diversity: Type species Hanstrassia lenae is
known from northeastern Asia from the Altai Region in Siberia and the Mon-
golian People’s Republic to Yakutia, while H. jaeseounhurii described here is so
far known only from the type locality of China. Taxonomic status of material
previously identified as H. lenae from Russia is in need of further clarifying.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affinities: After combined phyloge-
netic analysis the genus Hanstrassia is positioned in separate robust mono-
phyletic branch within the Mikhtomia s.l. branch, while after ITS phylogeny
it was placed in the genus Gyalolechia s.l. (Arup et al. 2013a), and to the genus
Elenkiniana (Kondratyuk et al. 2014c).
It is interesting to note, that in the first ITS phylogenetic tree published in
the paper with original description of H. lenae it was positioned in sister posi-
tion to the Laundonia flavovirescens (Søchting and Figueras 2007), and now the
same position is confirmed by three gene phylogeny (Fig. 2).
Hanstrassia jaeseounhurii S. Y. Kondr., Ch.-H. Park et L. Lkös, spec. nova

MycoBank nr.: MB 819642.
Similar to Hanstrassia lenae, but differs in having much larger thalline are-
oles, in having only areolate thallus, in having very scarce soredia and in having
scleroplectenchymatous cortical layer of thallus.
Type: China. Qinghai Province, between Jingtai and Zhongwei (close to
Yellow River), along 201 Provincial Road, on soil, growing together with Can-
delariella sp. Lat.: 37° 25’ 19.78” N; Long.: 104° 34’ 50.05” E; Alt.: 1,686 m a.s.l.
Coll.: Hur, J.-S. and Park, Ch.-H. (CH 160016), 17.06.2016 (KoLRI 041972 – hol-

delariella sp., Megaspora sp. and Catapyrenium sp. (CH 160015) (KoLRI 041972
sub Candelariella – isotype).
Thallus to 2–3(–5) cm across, distinctly areolate, without lobes in periph-
eral position, brownish green-yellow, with whitish pruina towards the periph-
eral portion; areoles distant, scattered and regularly rounded, to (0.2–)0.5–1
mm diam./across in peripheral portion, and much larger to (0.5–)1–3(–4) mm
across, in the centre, seem to be overlapping by marginal portions; sorediate.
In section thalline areoles (0.3–)0.4–0.8 mm thick, while together with slightly
brownish medullar layer (may be including overgrowing old portions?) to
1–1.6 mm thick; cortical layer 50–75(–100) m thick, yellowish in upper por-
tion or throughout, scleroplectenchymatous, cell lumina to 3–4(–5) m diam.,

portions with crystals K+ blackish purple in places; epinecral portions (bet-
ter seen in K) to 20(–25) m thick, in places dirty brownish; algal layer 50–70
(–150) m thick, in places consisting of clusters, not entire, algal cells to 10–
22.5 m diam./ across; medulla white, compact (without hollows) to 0.4–1.4
mm thick, where upper portion to 0.4–0.5 mm thick below algal layer purely
white, while lower portion (to 0.7–1 mm thick) straw yellowish or somewhat
pale brownish, probably owing to dust/soil particles, usually hardly seen, ow-
ing to numerous crystals not dissolving in K. Soralia marginal, somewhat lip-
like; soredia/schizidia usually rather scarce, 0.06–0.12(–0.2) mm diam./across,
or rarely in larger aggregations, irregular, light yellow or lemon yellow (well
contrasting to darker thallus). Apothecia, conidiomata, and conidia unknown.
Chemistry: Cortical layer of thallus K+ purple, while portions with nu-
merous crystals K+ to blackish purple in places.
Ecology: Growing on soil among mosses and together with species of the
genera Candelariella, Placopyrenium, Collema and Megaspora.
Etymology: It is named after Prof. Jae-Seoun Hur (Suncheon, Republic
of Korea), who has collected the type material and has kindly provided it for
our study.
Distribution: So far known only from the type locality in Inner Mongolia,
Northern China, Asia.
Taxonomic notes: Hanstrassia jaeseounhurii is similar to H. lenae, but differs
in having much larger thalline areoles (1–3(–4) mm vs. ca 1 mm diam./across),
in having only areolate thallus (vs. sometimes slightly radially elongated at the
periphery of the thallus and narrower, i.e. thallus is effigurate, but only weakly
lobate at the margin), in having very scarce and much larger (0.06–0.12(–0.2)
mm diam./across vs. 25–40(–50) m diam.) soredia and in having scleroplect-
enchymatous (vs. prosoplectenchymatous) cortical layer of thallus.
Hanstrassia jaeseounhurii is similar to Fulgensia desertorum (Tomin) Poelt
in having schizidia and crustose thallus often dispersed into elements, but dif-
fers in having distinctly areolate (vs. continuous crustose) and larger (2–3(–5)
cm vs. 0.75–1.6 cm across) thallus, in having larger thalline areoles (1–3(–4)
mm vs. 0.4–0.7 mm across), in the lack of lobate peripheral portion, in having
much thicker cortical layer, in having distinct algal zone and medulla, as well
as in positioning in separate monophyletic branch (vs. it is positioned in the
Gyalolechia s.l. clade).
After lack of apothecia and non-lobate peripheral portion, and more or
less warty squamulose thallus Hanstrassia jaeseounhurii is similar to Fulgensia
bracteata subsp. deformis (Erichsen) Poelt, but differs in having distinctly areo-
late thallus (vs. warty crustose to squamulose), in having much larger areoles
(1–3(–4) mm vs. only in peripheral zone distinct as ca 0.2–0.5 mm across), and in
having scarce and smaller (0.06–0.12(–0.2) mm vs. 0.2–0.4 mm across) schizidia.

Ecology: It grows on siliceous rock.
Distribution: So far known only from the type locality in Chile, South
America.
Etymology: Species is named after similarities to the Canary Islands en-
demic Elenkiniana gomerana.
Taxonomic notes: This taxon is characterised by the following features:
lobate peripheral zone, lobes mainly matt and slightly lighter at the tips, yel-
lowish-brownish or yellow-brownish orange; areoles in the centre richly cov-
ered by pseudocyphellae and upper surface seem to be heavily eroded and
whitish-yellowish brown in contrast to dark brick-orange discs of apothecia,
which are very abundant, almost completely covered some parts in the centre;
ascospores mainly simple (only very rarely juvenile septum seen); very soft
tissue in the true exciple (well developed, but concave), as well as presence of
halo in ascospores.
Harusavskia elenkinianoides is similar to the Canary Islands endemic Elen-
kiniana gomerana (J. Steiner) S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, A. Thell, Elix, J. Kim, A.
S. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur in having areolate in the centre and lobate in peripheral
zone and the same colouration thallus, in having numerous pseudocyphellae
in the centre and more or less immersed into the thallus apothecia, but differs
in having shorter (2–3.5 mm vs. to 8 mm long after Steiner 1911), and much
wider (0.8–1.2 mm wide towards the centre and to 1–2 mm wide towards the
tips, vs. 0.3–0.7(–1) mm wide) thalline lobes, in having somewhat larger apo-
thecia (0.4–1.3(–1.5) mm vs. 0.5–0.7(–1.2) mm diam.), in having lower cortical

m after Steiner 1911), in having much thicker true exciple especially in basal
portion (30–60(–150) m vs. 25 m thick), and in having “textura intricata” or
“textura globosa” of true exciple (vs. of parallel hyphae), in having higher hy-
menium (100–120 m vs. 60–90 m high), in having larger ascospores ((10.5)–
11–16(–17) × (4.5–)5–6.5(–7) m vs. 7.5–9.9–12.5 × 4–5.5–6 m after Llimona
and Werner 1975, and 7.5–11 × 5.5–6.5 m after Steiner 1911), and in having
narrower ascospore septum (1.5–2 m vs. 2–4 m wide), as well as in having
ascospores with halo.
Harusavskia elenkinianoides is similar to the epiphytic Chilean taxon Ca-
loplaca chilensis S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Frödén et Arup, but differs in having
larger thallus (several cm vs. 8–15(–25) mm diam.), being areolate in the cen-
tre, in having much wider thalline lobes (0.8–1.2 mm vs. 0.2–0.4 mm wide), in
having pseudocyphellae, in having wider paraphysis tips (4–6 m vs. to 3 m
diam.), in the lack of rhizine-like structures on underside and prothallus, in
having smaller and nonstipitate apothecia (0.4–1.3 mm vs. 0.4–2.7 mm diam.,
stipe 0.3–1 mm long), in having much narrower ascospore septum (1.5–2 m
vs. 4–6(–7.5) m wide), as well as in saxicolous habit, and having ascospores
with halo.
Unfortunately molecular data on Caloplaca chilensis are still not available,
while data on 6 genes of Caloplaca chilensis were mentioned in literature (Gaya
et al. 2012). However, in fact these data belong to another taxon of the genus
Follmannia.
After having convex thalline lobes with white sides along the lobe ends
in the peripheral zone, as well as after having indistinctly whitish in the centre
thallus Harusavskia elenkinianoides is similar to Calogaya mogoltanica (S. Y. Kondr.
et Kudratov) S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell, J. Kim, M.-H. Jeong, N.-
N. Yu, A. S. Kondratiuk et J.-S. Hur known from limestone outcrops of Cen-
tral Asia (Tadjikistan and Iran). However, Harusavskia elenkinianoides differs
in having brownish orange, epruinose (vs. dirty greenish yellow pruinose)
thallus, smooth in the centre (vs. papillate and verruculose in the centre), in
having thinner thalline lobes (0.4–0.5 mm vs. to 1–2(–3) mm thick), which well
deliminated by wide cracks between each others (vs. indistinct in the centre of
thallus and only seen as upper portion of convex surface of cortical layer), in
having pseudocyphellae (vs. pruinose but without pseudocyphellae), in hav-
ing smaller (mainly to 1 mm vs. 0.8–1.8 mm diam. not constricted at the basis
zeorine apothecia (lecanorine, with thick thalline margin, attenuated at the
basis), in having “textura intricata” or “textura globosa” type of true exciple
(vs. well-developed paraplectenchymatous with well-developed matrix) in
having shorter ascospores (12–15 × 5–7 m vs. 15–18 × 6–7 m) (Kondratyuk
and Kudratov 2003).

NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
In contrast to Rusavskia elegans (Link) S. Y. Kondr. et Kärnefelt (to which
this material was originally included), it has distinctly areolate central por-
tion of thallus, and lobes do not have well-developed lower cortex, as well as
ascospores have halo, while septum is not well distinct.
Huriella S. Y. Kondr. et D. Upreti, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819645.
Similar to the genus Squamulea of the subfamily Teloschistoideae, but differs in
having areolate (not squamulose!) thallus, smaller zeorine apothecia, in having nar-
rower ascospores, as well as in positioning in separate robust monophyletic branch in
the Amundsenia-Squamulea clade.
Type species: Huriella loekoesiana S. Y. Kondr. et D. Upreti.
Thallus crustose, small, but often forming larger aggregations, areolate
(not squamulose!), dull yellow-brownish or yellowish green. Cortical layer
paraplectenchymatous. Hypothallus not observed.
Apothecia small, seem to be biatorine, but zeorine in section, 1(–3–4) per
areole, disc dull yellow to bright yellow (especially at initial stages) to dark
brownish yellow; own margin concolourous with disc; true exciple paraplec-
tenchymatous; asci 8-spored; ascospores polarilocular, small, widely ellipsoid
with rounded ends. Conidiomata and conidia not seen.
Chemistry and ecology see below in species description.
Distribution and species diversity: So far monotypic genus, while pos-
sibly includes complex of species. H. loekoesiana is known from numerous lo-
calities in South Korea, Eastern Asia.
Etymology: It is named after Prof. Jae-Seoun Hur (Suncheon, Republic of
Korea), who has kindly supported our study of the Teloschistaceae.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: After combined phy-
logenetic analysis, as well as after separate ITS and mtSSU analyses the ge-
nus Huriella is always positioned in a sister position to the genera Squamulea
and Amundsenia (or between the Amundsenia-Squamulea and the Xanthocarpia
clades, if limited number of genera are included into the phylogenetic analy-
sis) as separate robust monophyletic branch, while the level of support of the
whole Amundsenia-Squamulea clade in much lower.
After molecular data hitherto available the genus Huriella includes only
the type species, while we expect in future recognising a complex of taxa.
One more species very similar to H. loekoesiana is in preparation for official
publication.

104 KONDRATYUK, S. Y., LKÖS, L., UPRETI, D. K., NAYAKA, S., MISHRA, G. K. et al.
Chemistry: Cortical layer of thallus, epihymenium and outer portion of
true exciple and thalline exciple K+ purple; outer brownish portions of thal-
line cortical layer K+ dark brown purple; substances not studied.
Ecology: It grows on siliceous rocks growing often together with Laundo-
nia flavovirescens agg., Rinodina sp.
Distribution: Known from scattered localities throughout the Republic of
Korea, Eastern Asia.
Etymology: Species is named after our good friend and colleague, well-
known Hungarian lichenologist László Lkös (BP, Budapest) in recognition
of his contribution to our recent knowledge on Korean lichen flora.
Taxonomic notes: Huriella loekoesiana is characterised by very small light
yellow discs of apothecia, slightly lighter of (dull brownish yellow) colour of
thallus, by areolate thallus with more or less rounded scattered areoles and
small and especially narrow ascospores.
Huriella loekoesiana is similar to Squamulea micromera (Hue) S. Y. Kondr.,
L. Lkös et J.-S. Hur, but differs in having areolate thallus (vs. squamulose),
in having larger thalline areoles ((0.2–)0.3–0.8(–1.0) mm vs. 0.2–0.3 mm diam./
across), in having larger zeorine apothecia (0.2–0.4(–0.5) mm vs. 0.2–0.3(–0.4)
mm diam., biatorine), in having thinner true exciple in basal portion (25–30
m vs. 40–60 m thick), in having thinner subhymenium (20–30 m vs. 50–60
m thick), and in having narrower ascospores ((8.5–)9–11(–12) × (4.5–)5–6 m
vs. 9–12 × 6–7(–7.5) m).
Huriella loekoesiana is similar to Squamulea subsoluta (Nyl.) Arup, Søchting
et Frödén, the type species of genus Squamulea Arup, Søchting et Frödén, but
differs in having smaller thalline areoles (not squamules, 0.3–0.8(–1.0) mm vs.
0.1–2.5 mm wide); in having smaller apothecia (0.2–0.4(–0.5) mm vs. 0.1–0.6
(–1.0) mm diam.), in having narrower ascospores ((8.5–)9–11(–12) × (4.5–)5–6
m vs. 9.5–12.5(–14) × 5.5–7 m), and in having wider ascospore septum (4–5
m vs. 3–4 m wide).
It should be emphasised that taxonomic status of Squamulea micromera
is waiting for confirmation by molecular data from freshly collected speci-
mens. In general, the type specimen of S. micromera may be considered within
the variation of S. subsoluta (Nyl.) Arup, Søchting et Frödén (sensu Wetmore
2003). However, we prefer to keep S. micromera as separate taxon until mo-
lecular characters of this material will not be checked especially.
There is one more taxon, very similar to Huriella loekoesiana, but differing
in having smaller ascospores and other anatomical characters, which is prob-
ably also the member of the genus Huriella is in preparation.

Apothecia zeorine or lecanorine, disc orange to brownish orange, true
exciple of “textura intricata” or somewhat scleroplectenchymatous, asci
8-spored, ascospores polaribilocular.

Chemistry: Not studied.
Ecology: Growing on bark of twigs of shrubs or trees.
Distribution and species diversity: So far this genus is monophyletic and
known only from the Canary Islands.
Etymology: The genus is named after the well-known Swedish lichenolo-
gist Ingvar Kärnefelt (Lund, Sweden) in recognition of his contribution to li-
chenology, and who has kindly provided for us an opportunity to participate
in field trips to Australia and to the Canary Islands and provided his earlier
collections in our disposal.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: After combined phyloge-
netic analysis the genus Ikaeria is positioned in the subfamily Teloschistoideae.
From molecular data hitherto available the genus is monotypic including only
type species I. aurantiellina, known from the Canary Islands and southwestern
Europe.
Ikaeria aurantiellina is similar to Mikhtomia of the subfamily Calopla-
coideae (or to Leutrouitia of the Leutrouitiaceae), but differs in having zeorine
or lecanorine apothecia, bipolar ascospores and in forming separate robust
monophyletic branch in the Teloschistoideae.
Ikaeria aurantiellina is similar to taxa of the Mikhtomia s.l. subphylum,
especially of the genera Laundonia, Opeltia, etc., but differs in positioning in
somewhat out position to both Caloplacoideae and Teloschistoideae after ITS,
nrLSU and mtSSU analysis, as well as after combined phylogenetic analysis.
This genus often forms common branch with the genus Yoshimuria, but
level of support of this branch is rather low to make conclusion that they are
congeneric. In contrast, both genera, Ikaeria and Yoshimuria, have the highest
level of support if they are presented by the same number of specimens (not
shown in Figs 1–4).
Data on unique position of the genus Ikaeria were already obtained sev-
eral years ago. However, these data were obtained from different specimens.
Several attempts to get three gene sequences from the same specimen were at-
tempted, but they were unsuccessful. So this genus, the same as genus Fomini-
ella (see above) is in urgent need of confirmation by molecular data obtained
from the same specimen.
After having broom-like paraphyses often becoming brownish towards
the tips the genus Ikaeria is similar to the Australian ‘Caloplaca’ marchantiorum
S. Y. Kondr. et Kärnefelt (Kondratyuk et al. 2009) (supposed member of the
Teloschistoideae or Brownlielloideae). Molecular data on ‘Caloplaca’ marchan-
tiorum are still not available, while several attempts to extract DNA were at-
tempted.
Van den Boom and Etayo (2006) argue that the name Caloplaca aegatica
Giralt, Nimis et Poelt, known from western Europe, might be a later synonym
of Ikaeria aurantiellina.

NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
Klauderuiella S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819648.
Similar to Variospora of the subfamily Caloplacoideae, but differs in having
lobate portions in peripheral portion of thallus, in having lecanorine apothecia, and in
forming separate robust monophyletic branch.
Type species: Klauderuiella thallincola (Wedd.) S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur.
Thallus distinctly lobate (at least in peripheral portions, while areolate
in the centre); often large size, yellow to orange, sometimes central and pe-
ripheral zone differently coloured (various shades of orange colour), matt,
epruinose or rarely pruinose; lobes plane or convex; cortical layer “pseudo”
paraplectenchymatous (sensu Clauzade and Roux 1985).
Apothecia lecanorine to zeorine; true exciple scleroplectenchymatous with
well-developed matrix in basal portion and to paraplectenchymatous in lateral
portions; subhymenium with oil droplets or greyish owing to numerous crys-
tals; ascospores often widened in equatorial portion to rhombic or citriform.
Ecology: Growing especially on calcium containing rocks.
Distribution: Members of this genus are known as widely distributed in
the Northern Hemisphere.
Etymology: It is named after the well-known French l ichenologist Claude
Roux (Klado Roux in Esperanto) (1945–) in recognition of his enormous con-
tribution to lichenology. He also excellently illustrated the Klauderuiella thal-
lincola and Klauderuiella aurantia groups in the well-known work “Likenoj de
Okcidenta Eropo. Illustrata determinlibro.” (1985), as well as he is a great
patriot of the Esperanto language.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: In current phylogenetic
tree the genus Klauderuiella, i.e.: the Variospora thallincola group has the highest
level of support after combined three gene phylogeny in contrast to very low
support of the Variospora-Bryoplaca subclade, where it is positioned (see Fig.
2). The latter subclade (i.e.: the Variospora-Bryoplaca subclade) is probably still
heterogeneous.
After molecular data hitherto available the genus Klauderuiella includes
three species, i.e.: K. thallincola, K. aurantia and K. flavescens.
From morphological point of view the genus Klauderuiella has very good
(distinct) character – lobate in peripheral portion of the thallus in contrast
to crustose members of the genus Variospora s. str. (i.e.: V. velana (A. Massal.)
Arup, Søchting et Frödén, V. latzelii (Servit) S. Y. Kondr., V. macrocarpa (Anzi)
Arup, Søchting et Frödén, V. dolomiticola (Hue) Arup, Søchting et Frödén and
V. kudratovii (S. Y. Kondr., B. Zarei-Darki et Hur) S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, A.
Thell, Elix, J. Kim, A. S. Kondr. et Hur).
Acta Bot. Hung. 59, 2017
108 KONDRATYUK, S. Y., LKÖS, L., UPRETI, D. K., NAYAKA, S., MISHRA, G. K. et al.
The Klauderuiella is somewhat analogous to genera Flavocitrina and Calo-
gaya in the Xanthorioideae and Filsoniana in the Teloschistoideae. However,
the genus Klauderuiella differs in having different type of paraplectenchyma-
tous tissue in cortical layer, as well as in having typical bipolar ascospores
(without thickening at poles).
Status of Variospora latzelii and V. australis hitherto included in this genus
Variospora only after ITS phylogeny should be confirmed by data on nrLSU
and mtSSU.
Possibly one more monophyletic group will be segregated from the Vari-
ospora s.l. branch of the Caloplacoideae in future.
Laundonia S. Y. Kondr., L. Lkös et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819649.
Similar to the genus Mikhtomia of the subfamily Caloplacoideae, but forming
separate robust monophyletic branch.
Type species: Laundonia flavovirescens (Wulfen) S. Y. Kondr., L. Lkös et
J.-S. Hur.
Thallus crustose, continuous or areolate, margin thinning at edge, with-
out elongated lobes; yellowish grey, yellowish orange, tan orange to greenish
yellow or greenish orange, pruinose, without vegetative propagules or sore-
diate; prothallus absent or present, black.
Apothecia of medium size, lecanorine or biatorine, disc dark orange, red-
dish orange or brownish orange; true exciple consisting of radiating hyphae
to “textura intricata” in basal portion; asci 8-spored; ascospores polaripolucar,
hyaline.
Unfortunately data on conidia of type species and L. persimilis (see Wetmore
2007) not provided, while description of conidiomata present in descriptions.
Chemistry: Parietin, fallacinal, emodin, and teloschistin. Chemistry of L.
persimilis was not especially investigated, however, C+ reaction may illustrate
the presence of gyrophoric or lecanoric acids.
Ecology: It grows on wood or bark.
Etymology: It is named after the well-known British lichenologist Jack
Rodney Laundon (1934–) who has made important contribution to taxonomy
of this species complex.
Distribution: Type species, i.e. Laundonia flavovirescens is widely dis-
tributed in the Northern Hemisphere (see notes below), while L. persimilis is
known only from western North America.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: After combined phylo-
genetic analysis the genus Laundonia is positioned in out position to the other
Acta Bot. Hung. 59, 2017
109
NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
genera of the Mikhtomia clade of the Caloplacoideae (Fig. 2), and it includes
two species, i.e.: L. flavovirescens and L. persimilis.
In premolecular era it was thought that Laundonia flavovirescens is a rath-
er common taxon distributed worldwide (see Wetmore 2007). However, when
we have started extraction DNA and further sequencing appeared material
morphologically similar to Laundonia flavovirescens to belong to many other
genera like Yoshimuria S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell et Hur, Mikhtomia
S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell et J.-S. Hur (subfamily Caloplacoideae),
Orientophila Arup, Søchting et Frödén (subfamily Xanthorioideae) (Kondra-
tyuk et al. 2016d), while Laundonia flavovirescens is rather rare itself.
Species of the genus Laundonia are very similar to members of the genus
Mikhtomia in its current sense, especially in the Eastern Asian region. Many
species of the latter genus (i.e. Mikhtomia), as well as the genus Oxneriopsis
were segregated from the so-called Caloplaca flavovirescens group.
However, genus Laundonia differs in having zeorine or lecanorine apo-
thecia, in the lack of vegetative propagules, and in positioning in the outer-
most position to the genus Mikhtomia of the Mikhtomia s.l. clade.
It can be similar to some species of the genus Tomnashia of the Xantho-
rioideae (see below), but differs in having lecanorine mainly orange to dark
orange apothecia (without reddish tinge), as well as in preference to non-cal-
careous rocks, while occasionally growing on calcareous rocks, too.
From morphological point of view the rare, Eastern Asian, recently de-
scribed taxon Caloplaca kedrovopadensis S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur (Kondratyuk et
al. 2014b, 2016a) can be also candidate in being member of the genus Laundo-
nia. However, molecular data are still missing for this taxon.
Earlier species of this genus were included mainly after ITS phylogeny to
the genus Gyalolechia s.l. (Arup et al. 2013a), which was characterised by domi-
nance of fragilin and presence of smaller amounts of parietin and emodin (of-
ten/sometimes with additional depsidones). However, as it was later shown
the Gyalolechia s. str. branch including G. aurea and G. canariensis has the high-
est level of support, but this branch is in out position to the Mikhtomia s.l. clade
(Kondratyuk et al. 2014c, and Fig. 2 in this paper). The genus Laundonia forms
separate robust monophyletic branch within the Mikhtomia s.l. clade.
Lazarenkoiopsis S. Y. Kondr., L. Lkös et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819650.
Similar to genus Solitaria of the subfamily Xanthorioideae, but differs in hav-
ing distinctly cracked-areolated, much thicker thallus, numerous oil droplets in the
hymenium, “textura intricata” tissue in the true exciple, not swollen towards the tips
of paraphyses, as well as in having higher concentrations of fragilin and detectable

quantity of emodin, 7-chloro-emodin, erythroglaucin, 7-chloroparietinic acid, phys-
coin bysanthrone, physcoin 9-anthrone and physcoin 10-anthrone, as well as in posi-
tioning in the Caloplacoideae.
Type species: Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis (Oxner, S. Y. Kondr. et Elix) S. Y.
Kondr., L. Lkös et J.-S. Hur.
Thallus rather thick in the centre and very thin at the periphery, smooth
to distinctly cracked by rather broad cracks, upper surface whitish, dull grey-
ish white to grey, greenish grey-brown or dull greenish yellow with well-
contrasting bright yellow, dull yellow or dull brownish yellow soralia. Soralia
initially rounded or irregular, usually at the margins of areoles, then becom-
ing confluent and spectacular elongated, fissure-like. Sorediose mass convex,
yellow to greenish yellow or dull brownish yellow.
Apothecia zeorine or lecanorine, disc brown to dark brown, own margin
dull yellow to almost colourless; cortical layer of thalline exciple paraplect-
enchymatous; true exciple of “textura intricata” or poorly developed sclero-
plectenchyma with cell lumina of 1–1.5 m diam.; asci 8-spored; ascospores
broadly ellipsoid to almost spherical or elongated and fusiform.
Chemistry: It contains fragilin (major), parietin (major/minor), emodin
and physcoin bysanthrone (minor), and 7-chloroemodin, erythroglaucin,
7-chloroparietinic acid, physcoin 9-anthrone, and physcoin 10-anthrone
(trace).
Etymology: It is named after the well-known Ukrainian bryologist And-
rij Sozontovych Lazarenko (1901–1979) for his contribution to the bryoflora of
the Eastern Asian region.
Ecology: It grows on various deciduous trees, especially on Acer pseu-
dosieboldianum, growing together with Oxneriopsis oxneri and Caloplaca cerina.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis
is similar to Solitaria chrysophthalma (Degel.) Arup, Søchting et Frödén, but
differs in having a much thicker, distinctly cracked-areolated thallus, numer-
ous oil droplets in the subhymenium, more or less “textura intricata” tissue
in the true exciple (scleroplectenchymatous in S. chrysophthalma), paraphyses
not swollen towards the tips (4–6.5 m wide in S. chrysophthalma), a thinner
exciple, as well as higher concentrations of fragilin and detectable quantity
of emodin, 7-chloroemodin, erythroglaucin, 7-chloroparietinic acid, physcoin
bysanthrone, physcoin 9-anthrone, and physcoin 10-anthrone, as well as in
positioning in the Teloschistoideae (Fig. 1). The dimensions of the ascospores
and ascospore septa are very similar for these two species.
Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis regularly grows together with Oxneriopsis ox-
neri (S. Y. Kondr. et Søchting) S. Y. Kondr., D. Upreti et J.-S. Hur, so it often
appears that the same thallus produces both isidia and soredia. The thalli of
both species (especially after long storage in herbaria) are the same colour.
Acta Bot. Hung. 59, 2017

NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
However, when growing side by side, O. oxneri differs by characteristic as-
cending thalline fragments exposing the white medulla, while upper surface
of Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis is always entire and medulla not apparent (ex-
cept for soralia). Caloplaca cerina (Ehrh. ex Hedw.) Th. Fr. is also sometimes
associated with Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis, but differs by its bright yellowish
discs with a greyish thalline margin (in contrast to the darker brown discs in
L. ussuriensis), as well as in lacking of soralia.
Suggestion that “Caloplaca oxneri would appear to be closely related to
C. ussuriensis, but differs in having phyllidia and schistidia rather than well-
developed soralia and convex sorediose mass” (Kondratyuk et al. 1996) is not
supported by current molecular data. These taxa are members of the different
robust monophyletic branches, i.e. the Oxneriopsis and Lazarenkoiopsis of the
subfamilies Caloplacoideae and the Teloschistoideae, respectively.
Nevilleiella S. Y. Kondr., et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819651.
Similar to genus Filsoniana of the subfamily Teloschistoideae, but differs in
having crustose thallus and biatorine apothecia, as well as forming separate robust
monophyletic branch.
Type species: Nevilleiella marchantii (S. Y. Kondr. et Kärnefelt) S. Y. Kondr.
et J.-S. Hur.
Thallus crustose, developing almost spherical pustule-like formations
or comprised of discrete, rather scattered distant areoles (which do not form
entire crust), brownish yellow to brownish orange, sometimes with whitish
pruina; areoles very variable, often convex, warty to almost spherical, some-
times with schizidia-like formations, cortical layer palisade paraplectenchym-
atous. Apothecia biatorine, sometimes becoming zeorine; disc and own mar-
gin rusty brownish orange or brownish orange, concolourous with thallus;
true exciple paraplectenchymatous with distinct matrix in basal portion; sub-
hymenium with oil droplets; ascospores polarilocular with almost invisible
septum mounted in water (better seen in K). Conidia narrowly bacilliform,
3–4 × 0.8–1 m.
Chemistry: Parietin (major), fallacinal (submajor/minor), parietinic acid,
teloschistin (minor/trace) present.
Ecology: It forms crust on clayey soil in saline areas, open localities or in
mallee areas or on siliceous rocks along the coast and rough pasture, heath-
land and dry sclerophyll forest of Australian continent.
Etymology: This genus is named after Dr Neville Marchant, who kindly
assisted us during our field work in Western Australia.
Acta Bot. Hung. 59, 2017
112 KONDRATYUK, S. Y., LKÖS, L., UPRETI, D. K., NAYAKA, S., MISHRA, G. K. et al.
Distribution and species diversity: The genus includes two species rather
widely distributed in Australia.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: After combined phyloge-
netic analysis the genus Nevilleiella is positioned within the Filsoniana clade of
the Teloschistoideae (Fig. 1).
The genus Nevilleiella is similar to genus Filsoniana S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt,
Elix, A. Thell et J.-S. Hur of the subfamily Teloschistoideae, but differs in hav-
ing crustose thallus and biatorine apothecia, as well as forming separate ro-
bust monophyletic branch.
The type species Nevilleiella marchantii was mentioned as the closest to
the member of the genus Filsoniana S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell et J.-
S. Hur, i.e. to F. scarlatina in the original publication (Kondratyuk et al. 2007).
It was also compared with another Australian member of the same genus Fil-
soniana i.e.: F. rexfilsonii (S. Y. Kondr. et Kärnefelt) S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix,
A. Thell et J.-S. Hur, but species of the genus Nevilleiella differs in the lack of
oil droplets and oil cells in the paraphyses, and in having a very thin cortical
layer, as well as much smaller, uniformly sized, ascospores in an ascus.
The taxonomic status of the second member of this genus, i.e. Nevilleiella
lateritia is considered as rather questionable (Kantvilas 2016). Furthermore
Nevilleiella lateritia considered as possible conspecific taxon with the Filsoni-
ana scarlatina and F. rexfilsonii. However, molecular data confirm that these
species have very good support as different species and that these taxa are
members of two separate robust monophyletic branches (see also Kondratyuk
et al. 2013b).
Opeltia S. Y. Kondr. et L. Lkös, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819652.
Similar to the genus Blastenia, but differs in having zeorine and rusty brown
apothecia, in having paraplectenchymatous true exciple, in having hymenium and
especially subhymenium inspersed with oil, and in forming separate robust monophy-
letic branch in the Mikhtomia s.l. clade.
Type species: Opeltia neobaltistanica (S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur) S. Y. Kondr.
et L. Lkös.
Thallus crustose, areolate to subsquamulose, margin abrupt at edge,
without elongated lobes; whitish to dirty white, weakly yellowish whitish
in places or yellowish orange, without asexual propagules or sorediate; pro-
thallus absent. Apothecia biatorine, zeorine to biatorine or lecanorine; disc
dark reddish orange to rusty brown; true exciple paraplectenchymatous in
basal portion to mesodermatous paraplectenchymatous with well-developed

NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
matrix; hymenium and especially subhymenium inspersed with oil; asci
8-spored, ascospores polarilocular, often very varying in shape.
Chemistry: Parietin and emodin are recorded, while chemistry of all spe-
cies of this genus is not studied in the same extent.
Ecology: It grows on bark of Juniperus, growing together with species of
the genera Candelariella, Caloplaca, Lecidella, Rinodina, Phaeophyscia, and Phys-
conia.
Etymology: The genus is named after the well-known German lichenolo-
gist Josef Poelt, in recognition of his enormous contribution to lichenology.
Distribution and species diversity: Two taxa, including the type species
O. neobaltistanica, and O. juniperina, are known from Eurasia, while one spe-
cies (O. arizonica) is known from southern North America.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: After combined analysis
the genus Opeltia is a member of the Mikhtomia s.l. clade of the Caloplacoi-
deae, but forming separate robust monophyletic branch (Fig. 2). After mo-
lecular data hitherto available the genus Opeltia includes three species, i.e.: O.
arizonica, O. juniperina and O. neobaltistanica.
After having yellow-orange areolate thallus it is similar to species of ge-
nus Laundonia (i.e. L. flavovirescens), while mainly growing on bark (vs. on
rock), and with the exception of O. arizonica apothecia do not have visible
thalline margin.
As it was mentioned earlier species of this genus were included mainly
after ITS phylogeny to the genus Gyalolechia s.l. (Arup et al. 2013a), which was
characterised by dominance of fragilin and presence of smaller amounts of
parietin and emodin (often/sometimes with additional depsidones). Howev-
er, as it was later shown the Gyalolechia s. str. branch including G. aurea and G.
canariensis has the highest level of support, but this branch is in out position
to the Mikhtomia s.l. clade (Kondratyuk et al. 2014c). The genus Opeltia forms
separate robust monophyletic branch within the Mikhtomia s.l. clade.
Oxneriopsis S. Y. Kondr., D. Upreti et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819653.
Similar to the genus Mikhtomia s. str., but differs in having more brownish
orange to dark brown orange or even blackish brown-orange discs of apothecia and in
forming separate robust monophyletic branch.
Type species: Oxneriopsis oxneri (S. Y. Kondr. et Søchting) S. Y. Kondr., D.
Upreti et J.-S. Hur.
Thallus crustose, continuous to cracked or areolated, often forming veg-
etative propagules, phyllidia or schizidia; greyish or greenish grey, while por-
Acta Bot. Hung. 59, 2017
114 KONDRATYUK, S. Y., LKÖS, L., UPRETI, D. K., NAYAKA, S., MISHRA, G. K. et al.
tions with phyllidia and schizidia bright yellow or greenish yellow to dull
yellow.
Apothecia lecanorine to zeorine, disc yellow, yellow-orange to orange-
brown, dark brown or blackish brown; thalline margin as usual bright yel-
low; hymenium inspersed with oil; asci 8-spored; ascospores polarilocular,
hyaline. Conidia bacilliform, 2.5–3(–3.5) × 0.8–1 m.
Chemistry: Fragilin (major) recorded for some taxa, however, chemistry
of all taxa is not studied especially.
Ecology: It grows on bark of broad-leaved trees.
Distribution and species diversity: So far the genus includes Eastern
Asian and North American taxa.
Etymology: It is named after the well-known Ukrainian lichenologist
Alf red Mykolajovych Oxner (1898–1973) in recognition of his contribution to
the Eurasian lichen flora.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affinities: After ITS phylogeny spe-
cies of genus Oxneriopsis were included into the genus Gyalolechia s.l. (Arup
et al. 2013a). However, after combined phylogenetic analysis, based on nrITS,
nrLSU and mtSSU sequences, the genus forms separate robust monophyletic
branch within the Mikhtomia s.l. clade.
After molecular data hitherto available status of such species as Oxne-
riopsis oxneri and O. yeosuensis is confirmed within the genus. However, one
more taxon (mentioned as O. aff yeosuensis) (see Fig. 2 and Appendix) is still
under special revision and its status will be discussed separately.
It should be emphasised that within the genera Oxneriopsis and Mikhtomia
we have the same tendency in forming phyllidia and schizidia, and two species
Oxneriopsis oxneri and Mikhtomia subflavorubescens are sometimes morphologi-
cally totally the same. In this situation some specimens of Mikhtomia subfla-
vorubescens were previously identified as “Caloplaca oxneri” (see Kond ratyuk
et al. 2014a) and superfluous combination “Mikhtomia oxneri” was proposed
(Kondratyuk et al. 2014a). However, we should emphasise that combination
was based on incorrectly identified specimens of Mikhtomia subflavorubescens
and “M. oxneri” should be taken out from the usage. Correct place for this
taxon is the Oxneriopsis branch. Fortunately Arup with colleagues (Arup et al.
2013a) have provided data on isotype specimens of the Caloplaca oxneri, and
it allowed to clarify situation with real position of this taxon. After molecular
data Oxneriopsis oxneri is very distinct, and appeared to be rather rare in South
Korea for example (only a few specimens were confirmed as Oxneriopsis ox-
neri). At the same time Mikhtomia subflavorubescens is extremely common in
this country, for which we have data more than 10 specimens, and almost half
of specimens previously were incorrectly identified as “M. oxneri”. However,
they all are confirmed to be Mikhtomia subflavorubescens after molecular phy-
logeny.

NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
A separate paper on the molecular characters of the members of the ge-
nus Mikhtomia is still in progress (Kondratyuk et al. in prep.), however, some
preliminary results are included here as proposals to new combinations (see
below).
Unfortunately molecular data are still absent on such rare recently de-
scribed taxon as ‘Caloplaca’ taranii S. Y. Kondr., S. I. Tchabanenko, I. Galanina
et L. Yakovczenko (Kondratyuk et al. 2013a), which differs in forming conflu-
ent soredious mass, but in general very similar to Oxneriopsis oxneri. May be
the future involving this taxon in molecular phylogeny of the Teloschistaceae
will confirm its status inside of the Oxneriopsis branch.
After morphological data we would expect that another Eastern Asian
taxon ‘Caloplaca’ kiewkaensis Yakovczenko, Galanina et S. Y. Kondr. (Kond-
ratyuk et al. 2011), may also belong to this genus. However, we still do not
have molecular data on this rare taxon.
It should be emphasised that in general the problem of molecular phy-
logeny of the Mikhtomia s.l. branch is that we do not have molecular data on
the type species of the genus Mikhtomia, i.e. M. gordejevii, which was described
in the 1920s and type specimen is very old. This species should be recollected
in the type locality for the further extraction DNA and getting sequences for
inclusion in the phylogenetic tree. In that case we will understand better im-
portance of morphological and chemical characters for taxonomy of all genera
of the Mikhtomia s.l. branch.
Teuvoahtiana S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819654.
In having lobate, areolate and squamulose representatives in the same robust
monophyletic branch Teuvoahtiana is similar to the Australian genus Filsoniana of
the Teloschistoideae, but differs in positioning in the subfamily Xanthorioideae.
Type species: Teuvoahtiana rugulosa (Nyl.) S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur.
Thallus crustose, areolate to squamulose, with rarely elongated in pe-
ripheral zone areoles to distinctly lobate; areolae and lobes usually very thick,
convex, yellow-orange, dull yellowish brown to dull orange-brown, owing
to numerous apothecia often dull reddish orange-brown; cortical layer para-
plectenchymatous to mesodermatous paraplectenchymatous.
Apothecia of medium size to rather large, often densely aggregated, le-
canorine to zeorine, disc plane, yellowish, roseus to pinkish orange-brown;
true exciple of “textura intricata”, asci (1–)2–4–6–8 spored, ascospores polari-
bilocular.
Chemistry is not studied in all members of this branch.

Ecology: It grows on non-calcareous rocks.
Etymology: It is named after the well-known Finnish lichenologist Teuvo
Ahti (H, Helsinki, Finland) in recognition of his contribution to lichenology
and especially to development of lichenological investigation in the South
American continent.
Distribution: So far all members of this genus are distributed only within
the South American continent.
Taxonomic notes: After combined phylogenetic analysis it is positioned
in the Xanthorioideae as separate robust monophyletic branch or in some cas-
es as sister branch to the Xanthopeltis branch (Fig. 3). The genus includes three
South American species after molecular data hitherto available.
Teuvoahtiana rugulosa (Nyl.) S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur and T. altoandiana
(Malme) S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, as well as T. fernandeziana (Zahlbr.) S. Y.
Kondr. et J.-S. Hur were compared to each other in original descriptions as the
closest or the most similar taxa (Malme 1926, Zahlbruckner 1917). Molecular
data entirely confirm their close relations.
Among taxa mentioned we have had difficulties only with identifica-
tion of specimen of Teuvoahtiana fernandeziana, because our specimen differs
in having somewhat thicker, somewhat Toninia-like thallus. However, as far
details on ascospores and apothecia are within the Teuvoahtiana fernandeziana
diagnosis (Malme 1926, Zahlbruckner 1917) we still hesitate to produce new
taxon name. However, further molecular studies should clarify if position of
this species in the genus Teuvoahtiana is correct, and if identification of speci-
men cited will be supported by further molecular data.
There are only a few genera in the Teloschistaceae, where we have dis-
tinctly lobate and crustose (elobate) taxa in the same monophyletic branches,
i.e. the Australian genus Filsoniana (Teloschistoideae) and genera Athallia,
Gondwania, Orientophila and Teuvoahtiana from the Xanthorioideae. In this
case the distinctly lobate taxa Filsoniana australiensis, Athallia scopularis, Orien-
tophila subscopularis, O. yakjidoensis, O. jungakimae and Teuvoahtiana altoandina
are members of genera, where major portion of species diversity of the genera
mentioned is represented by crustose representatives. In the genus Gondwania
the majority of species is lobate taxa, while crustose lichens are also present
(Kondratyuk et al. 2014c).
However, it should be mentioned that last data on Orientophila shows
that this genus is more heterogeneous and more diverse as it was thought
before (Arup et al. 2013a, Kondratyuk et al. 2013b, 2016d) and probably in the
future the genus Orientophila will contain larger number of crustose species,
or it will be divided into two or more separate branches. Special revision of
this genus is also in progress (Kondratyuk et al. 2017).
Additionally to Teuvoahtiana rugulosa, T. altoandina and T. fernandeziana
there are also undescribed taxa as ‘Caloplaca sp. 2’ and ‘Caloplaca sp. 4’ (sensu
Acta Bot. Hung. 59, 2017

NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
Arup et al. 2013a), which belong to this monophyletic branch. However, they
are still not legally described (not shown in the tree) unfortunately.
Arup with colleagues (Arup et al. 2013a) have recognised only Caloplaca al-
toandina and 4 undescribed taxa (mentioned as Caloplaca sp. 1–4), which were in
sister position to the genus Xanthopeltis. After data of these authors monophy-
letic branch with Xanthopeltis has had high level of support, while C. altoandina
did not have good support based on their matrix at that time. Taxa mentioned
as Caloplaca sp. 1 and Caloplaca sp. 3 were included in this branch only after ITS
phylogeny, while data on nrLSU and mtSSU were (and still are) missing.
Our data confirm previous data that Teuvoahtiana is closely related to the
genera Xanthopeltis and Austroplaca. However, on another side, our data do not
confirm previous data that Austroplaca is positioned in one clade with Gondwania
and Cerothallia. The latter two genera are in somewhat out position to Xantho-
mendoza s.l. subphylum of the Xanthorioideae after our phylogenetic analysis.
Tomnashia S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819655.
Similar to genus Blastenia of the subfamily Caloplacoideae, but differs in hav-
ing often yellow to yellowish orange or apricot orange thallus and mainly orange apo-
thecia, as well as forming separate robust monophyletic branch in the Xanthorioideae.
Type species: Tomnashia rosei (Hasse) S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur.
Thallus crustose, immersed into calcareous rock or absent, to continuous
or areolate, white, grey, greenish yellow or yellowish orange to orange or apri-
cot orange, in some taxa (T. ludificans) with a waxy translucent appearance,
without asexual propagules. Prothallus absent, or yellow-orange if present.
Apothecia small biatorine, disc orange to reddish brown; true exciple
consisting of radiating hyphae, in basal portion of “textura intricata”; asci
8-spored; ascospores polarilocular, hyaline.
Chemistry: Parietin, fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin and parietinic acid.
Ecology: It grows on calcareous rock, on soil and on non-calcareous rocks.
Etymology: It is named after the well-known American lichenologist
Thomas H. Nash III (1945–) in recognition of his contribution to lichenology,
especially of the North American lichen flora.
Distribution: Species of this genus are hitherto known only from North
America, where mainly distributed in the southwestern part of the continent.
The genus Tomnashia similarly to the genera Polycauliona s. str. and Ig-
neoplaca S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell et J.-S. Hur of the Polycauliona
s.l. subphylum has rather limited distribution in coastal southwestern North
America, while the other genera of the Polycauliona s.l. subphylum, like Mass-

Thell, Verrucoplaca S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell et J.-S. Hur, Scythioria
S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell et J.-S. Hur are characterised by much
wider distribution in the Northern Hemisphere or in the world.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: After combined phylo-
genetic analysis the genus Tomnashia is positioned in the outermost position
among monophyletic groups of the Polycauliona s.l. subclade (i.e. Verrucoplaca,
Igneoplaca, Massjukiella) of the Xanthorioideae, which has rather low level of
support (see tree Xanthorioideae), and in the most distant from the Polycaulio-
na s. str. (i.e. P. coralloides) branch (Fig. 3).
From other members of the Polycauliona s.l. subphylum Tomnashia differs
in having crustose, continuous, from immersed and indistinct to distinctly
areolate thallus without elongated areoles at the margin, as well as mainly
bright orange to reddish brown biatorine apothecia.
In having biatorine apothecia may be similar to the members of the gen-
era Blastenia A. Massal. and Eilifdahlia S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell
et J.-S. Hur, as well as of Laundonia S. Y. Kondr., L. Lkös et J.-S. Hur and
Mikhtomia S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell et J.-S. Hur of the subfam-
ily Caloplacoideae, but the genus Tomnashia is positioned in separate robust
monophyletic branch of the Xanthorioideae.
Additionally to Tomnashia rosei, T. nashii, T. luteominia and T. ludificans
this branch includes also ‘Polycauliona sp. 37’ (after Arup et al. 2013a), but this
taxon is still not described (and not included in the final tree).
Xanthaptychia S. Y. Kondr. et S. Ravera, gen. nov.
MycoBank nr.: MB 819656.
Similar to the genus Seirophora, but differs in having scleroplectenchymatous
tissue in thallus and cortex of thalline margin of apothecia, and in distribution mainly
in high altitude of mountainous regions of northern Eurasian or North American, as
well as in forming separate robust monophyletic branch.
Type species: Xanthaptychia orientalis (Frödén) S. Y. Kondr. et S. Ravera.
Thallus foliosus to subfruticose or caespitose to pulvinate, usually ro-
sette-forming, small; lobes dorsiventral, horizontally orientated and three
different portions (main lobes, secondary lobules and terminal portions ob-
served (see also Kondratyuk et al. 2013c)), or overlapping and often ascend-
ing, branching mostly irregular to anastomosing, rarely podetium-like; upper
surface whitish grey, often brownish grey partly brownish yellow to yellow,
lower side whitish grey; tomentum often well developed on upper surface; in

NEW MONOPHYLETIC BRANCHES OF THE TELOSCHISTACEAE
section cortical layer scleroplectenchymatous; lower cortex absent or devel-
oped only on small portions; some taxa with various vegetative propagules.
Apothecia laminal, lecanorine, usually very large, to 5(–10) mm diam.,
disc yellow, orange to reddish orange or brownish orange; cortex scleroplec-
tenchymatous; asci 8-spored, polarilocular with narrow septa, hyaline; coni-
dia narrowly bacilliform, 3–3.8 × 0.9–1 m. [Note: data of Frödén and Litterski
(2005) on conidia bacilliform to narrowly ellipsoid, (3–)3.5–4(4.5) × (1–)1.4–
1.8(–2) m for Xanthaptychia orientalis are very doubtful and they are need in
verifying].
Chemistry: Parietin (major) and low concentrations of emodin, fallacinal,
teloschistin, parietinic acid and erythroglaucin.
Ecology: Corticolous species growing on Picea schrenkiana, Ephedra cani-
setina, Acer pubescens, A. regalis, Rhamnus sintesii, Pistacia vera, Sageretia laetevi-
rens, Amygdalus buharica, and species of the genera Populus, Juniperus and Acer
in montane belt between altitudes 1,100–2,100 m.
Etymology: It is named after similarities with members of the genus
Anap tychia of the Physciaceae (i.e. lack of lower cortical layer) and xanthorioid
lichens of the Teloschistaceae (in having foliose thallus).
Distribution: Northern Hemisphere with tendency to high altitudes of
mountainous regions or polar latitudes of Eurasia and North America. Sore-
dious taxa Xantaptychia contortuplicata and X. blumii supposed to have wider
distribution than the esoredious species X. orientalis. However, the latter two
taxa are rather recently described and we still have limited data on their dis-
tribution (see Kondratyuk et al. 2013c, 2015b, 2016b). In the Mediterranean
region species of the genera Xantaptychia and Seirophora (i.e.: Xanthaptychia
orientalis and Seirophora villosa) are completely allopatric.
Taxonomic notes and phylogenetic affiliations: After combined phylo-
genetic analysis the genus positioned in the Seirophora s.l. clade of the Calo-
placoideae, where it is forming separate robust monophyletic branch (Fig. 2).
From molecular data hitherto available the genus Xanthaptychia includes four
species, i.e.: X. blumii, X. aurantiaca, X. contortuplicata and X. orientalis, while
status of the other Seirophora species including S. scorigena, S. tenera and others
is still waiting for clarifying.
Similar to the genus Seirophora, but differs in having scleroplecten-
chymatous tissue in thallus and cortex of thalline margin of apothecia (vs.
prosoplectenchymatous), and in distribution mainly in high altitude of moun-
tainous regions of northern Eurasian or North American (vs. Mediterranean
region with preference to its western regions), as well as in forming separate
robust monophyleric branch.
From 2013 the position of genus Seirophora in phylogenetic tree of the
Telo schistaceae was somewhat questionable because in fact this genus was not

confirmed by three gene phylogeny. Only data on ITS nrDNA were provided
for the type species of this genus, i.e. S. villosa (Arup et al. 2013a). Within our
study it was special task to provide missing data on nrLSU and mtSSU data
for S. villosa. After getting these data (see Appendix and Fig. 2) it became clear
that the Xanthaptychia branch formed a separate robust monophyletic branch.
The type species of this genus, Xanthaptychia orientalis appeared to be
described twice almost in the same time by Frödén and Litterski (2005) and
one year later by Kondratyuk and Kudratov (2006) as Xanthoanaptychia kotovii
S. Y. Kondr. et Kudratov (while manuscripts of both publications were sub-
mitted in 2005, in the same year). Description of the Xanthoanaptychia kotovii
was based on specimens kept in KW-L and LE and it was somewhat wider
and more detailed than in the earlier paper. In this paper type species of the
genus Xanthaptychia was compared with X. contortuplicata and Seirophora vil-
losa, as well as with Massjukiella polycarpa (Hoffm.) S. Y. Kondr., Fedorenko,
S. Stenroos, Kärnefelt, Elix, J.-S. Hur et A. Thell (Xanthorioideae) and Niorma
chrysophthalma (L.) S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell, N.-H. Jeong et J.-S.
Hur (Teloschistoideae). Unfortunately data on conidia of the type species of
the genus Xanthaptychia are especially different and they are in urgent need of
repeated revision (see above).
In both original papers similarities and differences with S. villosa and S.
lacunosa were emphasised, as well as S. scorigena. However, after segregation
of the genus Xanthaptychia in separate genus all these characters are in need
of the further revision.
Status of Seirophora tenera Frödén et Litterski is still waiting for clarify-
ing, while some information was published that data on ITS region of S. tenera
were obtained (Frödén and Litterski 2005). However, these data are still not
available for wide access.

CONCLUSIONS
Seventeen newly discovered robust monophyletic branches proved by
combined phylogenetic analysis based on ITS nr DNA, 28S nrLSU and 12S
mtSSU, which are proposed to consider as separate genera are added to the sub-
families Teloschistoideae (5), Caloplacoideae (7), Xanthorioideae (3) and Brown-
lielloideae (1). There are also genera Fominiella and Ikaeria, which are positioned
in out position to known subfamilies and possibly illustrate that additional sub-
families of the Teloschistaceae still exist and are waiting for legal description.
