Bul- letin de la Société des naturalistes luxembourgeois 107 : 63-74. Abstract. Review of recent literature and studies on large and mainly recent collections of lichens and lichenicolous fungi led to the addition of 35 taxa to the flora of Belgium, Lux- embourg and northern France: Abrothallus buellianus, Absconditella delutula, Acarospora glaucocarpa var. conspersa, Anema nummularium, Anisomeridium ranunculosporum, Artho- nia epiphyscia, A. punctella, Bacidia adastra, Brodoa atrofusca, Caloplaca britannica, Cer- cidospora macrospora, Chaenotheca laevigata, Collemopsidium foveolatum, C. sublitorale, Coppinsia minutissima, Cyphelium inquinans, Involucropyrenium squamulosum, Lecania fructigena, Lecanora conferta, L. pannonica, L. xanthostoma, Lecidea variegatula, Mica- rea micrococca, Micarea subviridescens, M. vulpinaris, Opegrapha prosodea, Parmotrema stuppeum, Placynthium stenophyllum var. isidiatum, Porpidia striata, Pyrenidium actinellum, Thelopsis rubella, Toninia physaroides, Tremella coppinsii, Tubeufia heterodermiae, Verru- caria acrotella and Vezdaea stipitata. Three species are to be deleted from that flora: Brodoa intestiniformis, Fuscopannaria saubinetii and Squamarina oleosa. 1.

In South Korea, Strigula is the only genus of foliicolous lichen recorded from Jeju Island. Several Strigula species have been recorded, but the ecology of Strigula in South Korea has been largely unexplored. This study examined the distribution and genetic structure of Strigula on Jeju Island. The distribution was surveyed and the influence of environmental factors (e.g., elevation, forest availability, and bioclimate) on the distribution was analyzed using a species distribution modeling analysis. In addition, the genetic variations and differentiation of Strigula multiformis populations were analyzed using two nuclear ribosomal regions. The distribution of Strigula was largely restricted to a small portion of forest on Jeju Island, and the forest availability was the most important factor in the prediction of potential habitats. The genetic diversity and differentiation of the S. multiformis population were found to be high and were divided according to geography. On the other hand, geographic and environmental distance did not explain the population differentiation.

Accepted: May 26, 2009) ABSTRACT This is the first report on Cladonia diversa Asperges in Poland. Till the present this species was overlooked and usually included under the name C. coccifera. The study is based on revision of over a thousand of specimens of the genus Cladonia section Cocciferae deposited in Polish herbaria. The morphology, chemistry, habitat requi- rements and known distribution of the lichen in Poland are discussed. A taxonomical remarks concerning the spe- cies are also provided. KEY WORDS: lichens, Cladonia, section Cocciferae, taxonomy, distribution. INTRODUCTION C. coccifera). For this reason the taxon was often discussed together with C. coccifera or included as its synonym (e.g. Cladonia diversa Asperges is a representative of the sec- Ahti and Stenroos 1986; Huovinen et al. 1989; Wirth tion Cocciferae (Delise) A.

Similar to other organismal groups, robust species 31 circumscriptions in fungi are increasingly investigated within an empirical framework. Here we 32 attempt to delimit species boundaries in a closely related clade of lichen-forming fungi endemic to 33 Asia, the Hypogymnia hypotrypa group (Parmeliaceae). In the current classification, the Hypogymnia 34 hypotrypa group includes two species: H. hypotrypa and H. flavida, which are separated based on 35 distinctive reproductive modes, the former producing soredia but absent in the latter. We reexamined 36 the relationship between these two species using phenotypic characters and molecular sequence data 37 (ITS, GPD, and MCM7 sequences) to address species boundaries in this group.
