Lichenicolous Fungi of the Caucasus: New Species, New Records and a Second Synopsis Opuscula Philolichenum, 16: 267–311. 2017. *pdf effectively published online 25August2017 via (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/op/) Lichenicolous fungi of the Caucasus: New species, new records and a second synopsis MIKHAIL P. ZHURBENKO 1 ABSTRACT. – Ninety-four species of lichenicolous and allied fungi are reported from the Northwest Caucasus. Nanostictis caucasica on Parmelia sulcata is described as new to science. A presumably new ascomycete with hairy apothecia growing on Thamnolia vermicularis is described but not given a formal name. Acremonium pertusariae, Arthonia destruens, Cercidospora cf. rinodinae, Endococcus sendtneri, Lichenochora inconspicua, Lichenodiplis anomala, Rhizocarpon cf. ochrolechiae, Roselliniopsis tartaricola and Thelocarpon cf. sphaerosporum are newly reported for Asia and Russia, Polycoccum hymeniicola is newly reported for Russia. A first verified occurrence of Dactylospora tegularum in Russia is reported. Dactylospora athallina and Zwackhiomyces kiszkianus are reported new to Asian Russia. Cercidospora verrucosaria, Cornutispora ciliata, C. lichenicola, Dacampia hookeri, D. rufescentis, Didymocyrtis consimilis, Lichenochora caloplacae, Lichenostigma chlaroterae, Merismatium nigritellum agg., Monodictys fuliginosa, Pronectria erythrinella s. l., Scutula epiblastematica, Sphaerellothecium araneosum, Sphinctrina leucopoda, Stigmidium pseudopeltideae, S. squamariae and Tetramelas phaeophysciae are reported new to the Caucasus. Lichenochora caloplacae is reported for the first time from outside the Arctic. An unusual intrahymenial parasite of Lecanora pulicaris similar to Rhabdospora lecanorae is discussed. Bryoplaca is reported as a new host genus for Merismatium nigritellum agg., Cetrelia for Cornutispora lichenicola and Echinothecium reticulatum, Flavoparmelia for Cornutispora ciliata, and Pseudevernia for Lichenoconium cargillianum. A synopsis of 248 species from 98 genera of lichenicolous fungi and three species from two additional genera of allied fungi so far known from the Caucasus is presented and analyzed. The most species-rich genera are Stigmidium, Arthonia and Abrothallus. 81% of the lichenicolous fungi species were found on only one host genus. The value of the ‘parasite genera:host genera’ ratio is about 1:1. The most frequently parasitized lichen genera are Lecanora s. l., Parmelia, Peltigera, Cladonia and Physcia. About half of the species found in the Caucasus occur outside the Holarctic. The lichenicolous index for the Russian Caucasus is approximately 0.2. The most frequently collected species were Lichenostigma maureri, Marchandiomyces corallinus, Lichenoconium erodens, L. lecanorae and Nesolechia oxyspora. About 25% of the detected species were considered visible to the naked eye, 60% were clearly visible only at 10× magnification, and 15% only at 20−40× magnification. KEYWORDS. – Lichenicolous mycobiota, biodiversity, biogeography, ecology. INTRODUCTION The first publications that presented information about the lichenicolous fungi of the Caucasus appeared more than a century ago (Elenkin & Woronichin 1908, Vainio 1899). However, the systematic investigation of these organisms in the region began only recently. The first synopsis of lichenicolous fungi of the Caucasus included 72 species from 47 genera (Zhurbenko & Otte 2012). Subsequently, dedicated studies of these fungi in the Teberda and Caucasian Biosphere Reserves supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research were carried out (Zhurbenko & Kobzeva 2014, 2016; Zhurbenko & Pino- Bodas 2017; Zhurbenko et al. 2015b, c; present paper). These studies, along with additional new reports 1MIKHAIL P. ZHURBENKO – Lab. of the Systematics and Geography of Fungi, Komarov Botanical Institute Russian Academy of Sciences, Professor Popov 2, St. Petersburg, 197376, Russia. – e–mail: [email protected] 267 published in a series of lichen floristic contributions (Urbanavichene & Urbanavichus 2014; Urbanavichus & Ismailov 2013, 2016; Urbanavichus & Urbanavichene 2012, 2014, 2015a, b), increased their known diversity from the region by more than three times. Given the number of newly accumulated records, both published and unpublished, the present contribution was assembled with the goal of once again summarizing the lichenicolous mycobiota of the region. MATERIALS AND METHODS In addition to the published literature, this study is based on 232 specimens of lichenicolous fungi and lichenicolous lichens housed in the mycological herbarium of the V.L. Komarov Botanical Institute in St. Petersburg, Russia (LE). Microscopical examination was carried out using a Zeiss Axio Imager A1 microscope equipped with Nomarski differential interference contrast optics (DIC) in water, 10% KOH (K), Lugol’s iodine, directly (I) or after a KOH pre-treatment (K/I), or brilliant cresyl blue (BCr). The length, breadth and length/breadth ratio (l/b) of asci, ascospores and conidia are given (where n > 10) as: (min−){X−SD}−{X+SD}(−max), where “min” and “max” are the extreme observed values, X the arithmetic mean and SD the corresponding standard deviation. Measurements were taken from water mounts, unless otherwise indicated. Data for the twenty-two localities from which the newly reported specimens were collected is summarized below. The localities are referenced in the text by the number that appears in bold in the list below. 1: RUSSIA. REPUBLIC OF ADYGEYA: Caucasian Biosphere Reserve, northeastern spur of Mt.

  • Taxonomy and New Records of Graphidaceae Lichens in Western Pangasinan, Northern Philippines
    PRIMARY RESEARCH PAPER | Philippine Journal of Systematic Biology DOI 10.26757/pjsb2019b13006 Taxonomy and new records of Graphidaceae lichens in Western Pangasinan, Northern Philippines Weenalei T. Fajardo1, 2* and Paulina A. Bawingan1 Abstract There are limited studies on the diversity of Philippine lichenized fungi. This study collected and determined corticolous Graphidaceae from 38 collection sites in 10 municipalities of western Pangasinan province. The study found 35 Graphidaceae species belonging to 11 genera. Graphis is the dominant genus with 19 species. Other species belong to the genera Allographa (3 species) Fissurina (3), Phaeographis (3), while Austrotrema, Chapsa, Diorygma, Dyplolabia, Glyphis, Ocellularia, and Thelotrema had one species each. This taxonomic survey added 14 new records of Graphidaceae to the flora of western Pangasinan. Keywords: Lichenized fungi, corticolous, crustose lichens, Ostropales Introduction described Graphidaceae in the country (Parnmen et al. 2012). Most recent surveys resulted in the characterization of six new Graphidaceae is the second largest family of lichenized species (Lumbsch et al. 2011; Tabaquero et al.2013; Rivas-Plata fungi (Ascomycota) (Rivas-Plata et al. 2012; Lücking et al. et al. 2014). In the northwestern part of Luzon in the Philippines 2017) and is the most speciose of tropical crustose lichens (Region 1), an account on the Graphidaceae lichens was (Staiger 2002; Lücking 2009). The inclusion of the initially conducted only from the Hundred Islands National Park (HINP), separate family Thelotremataceae (Mangold et al. 2008; Rivas- Alaminos City, Pangasinan (Bawingan et al. 2014). The study Plata et al. 2012) in the family Graphidaceae made the latter the reported 32 identified lichens, including 17 Graphidaceae dominant element of lichen communities with 2,161 accepted belonging to the genera Diorygma, Fissurina, Graphis, Thecaria species belonging to 79 genera (Lücking et al.

    . © Biodiversity Heritage Library, http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/; www.biologiezentrum.at 273 Notes on the Genus Sagediopsis (Verrucariales, Adelococcaceae) by D. Triebel Abstract: Triebel, D.: Notes on the genus Sagediopsis (Verrucariales, Adelococcaceae). - Sendtnera 1: 273-280. ISSN 0944-0178. Notes on the genus Sagediopsis are given. Sagediopsis dissimilis Triebel is described as a new species and treated in detail. This lichenicolous fungus is confined to the lecideoid lichen Paraporpidia leptocarpa and occurs in Australasia. Sagediopsis is closely related to Adelococcus. Both genera are placed in a new family of the Verrucariales, Adelococcaceae Triebel. The family includes lichenicolous, non-lichenized taxa with persistent interascal filaments. 1. Introduction The order Verrucariales Mattick ex D. Hawksw. & 0. Eriksson includes until now only one family, the Verrucariaceae Zenker, which comprizes mainly lichenized ascortiycetes. It is characterized by globose, mainly clypeate and at least apically dark brown perithecioid ascomata. The hamathecial elements are confined to the ostiolar canal. The asci of the Vernicaria-type are broadly clavate, apically equally thick-walled and have constantly non- amyloid inner wall layers (see ERIKSSON 1981, Hawksworth & ERIKSSON 1986). The hymenial gel and the external ascus wall layer fi-equently turn red in Lugol's iodine solution. The majority of the c. 800 known Verrucarialean taxa develops two-biont lichen associations. Only a few lichenicolous lichens establishing three-biont associations are known (RAMBOLD& Triebel 1992, checklist C). Just recently, some groups of non-lichenized fijngi with lichenicolous, algicolous or hepaticolous life habit were placed in the order Verrucariales. These are the genera Endococcus Nyl., Merismatium Zopf, Muellerella Hepp ex Müll.

Farimagsgade 2D, DK-1353 Copenhagen K, Denmark. 2 Department of Biology, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708-0338, USA. E-mail : [email protected] Received 5 December 2001; accepted 5 August 2003. A molecular phylogenetic analysis of rDNA was performed for seven Caloplaca, seven Xanthoria, one Fulgensia and five outgroup species. Phylogenetic hypotheses are constructed based on nuclear small and large subunit rDNA, separately and in combination. Three strongly supported major monophyletic groups were revealed within the Teloschistaceae. One group represents the Xanthoria fallax-group. The second group includes three subgroups: (1) X. parietina and X. elegans; (2) basal placodioid Caloplaca species followed by speciations leading to X. polycarpa and X. candelaria; and (3) a mixture of placodioid and endolithic Caloplaca species. The third main monophyletic group represents a heterogeneous assemblage of Caloplaca and Fulgensia species with a drastically different metabolite content. We report here that the two genera Caloplaca and Xanthoria, as well as the subgenus Gasparrinia, are all polyphyletic. The taxonomic significance of thallus morphology in Teloschistaceae and the current delimitation of the genus Xanthoria is discussed in light of these results. INTRODUCTION Taxonomy of Teloschistaceae and its genera The Teloschistaceae is a well-delimited family of Hawksworth & Eriksson (1986) assigned the Teloschis- lichenized fungi.

  • Foliicolous Lichens and Their Lichenicolous Fungi Collected During the Smithsonian International Cryptogamic Expedition to Guyana 1996
    45 Tropical Bryology 15: 45-76, 1998 Foliicolous lichens and their lichenicolous fungi collected during the Smithsonian International Cryptogamic Expedition to Guyana 1996 Robert Lücking Lehrstuhl für Pflanzensystematik, Universität Bayreuth, D-95447 Bayreuth, Germany Abstract: A total of 233 foliicolous lichen species and 18 lichenicolous fungi are reported from Guyana as a result of the Smithsonian „International Cryptogamic Expedition to Guyana“ 1996. Three lichens and two lichenicolous fungi are new to science: Arthonia grubei sp.n., Badimia subelegans sp.n., Calopadia pauciseptata sp.n., Opegrapha matzeri sp.n. (lichenicolous on Amazonomyces sprucei), and Pyrenidium santessonii sp.n. (lichenicolous on Bacidia psychotriae). The new combination Strigula janeirensis (Bas.: Phylloporina janeirensis; syn.: Raciborskiella janeirensis) is proposed. Apart from Amazonomyces sprucei and Bacidia psychotriae, Arthonia lecythidicola (with the lichenicolous A. pseudopegraphina) and Byssolecania deplanata (with the lichenicolous Opegrapha cf. kalbii) are reported as new hosts for lichenicolous fungi. Arthonia pseudopegraphina growing on A. lecythidicola is the first known case of adelphoparasitism at generic level in foliicolous Arthonia. Arthonia flavoverrucosa, Badimia polillensis, and Byssoloma vezdanum are new records for the Neotropics, and 115 species are new for Guyana, resulting in a total of c. 280 genuine foliicolous species reported for that country, while Porina applanata and P. verruculosa are excluded from its flora. The foliicolous lichen flora of Guyana is representative for the Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana) and has great affinities with the Amazon region, while the degree of endemism is low. A characteristic species for this area is Amazonomyces sprucei. Species composition is typical of Neotropical lowland to submontane humid forests, with a dominance of the genera Porina, Strigula, and Mazosia.

  • Die Gattung Aspicilia, Ihre Ableitungen Nebst
    Acta Botánica Malacitana, 16(1): 133-140 Malaga, 1991 DIE GAUG ASPICILIA, IE AEIUGE ES EMEKUGE OE CYOECAOIE ASCOCAOGAISAIO EI AEE GENERA E LECANORALES (ASCOMYCEES ICEISAI Josef HAFELLNER SUMMARY: Some evolutionary lines are shown within Aspicilia coll, and the taxonomical and nomenclatural consequences for species commonly classified in Sphaerothallia Nees are discussed. The generic rank (Lobothallia (Clauzade & Roux) Hafellner) is proposed for the Aspicilia radiosa group and the following new combinations are introduced: Lobothallia alphoplaca (Wahlenb. in Ach.)Haf., Lobothallia melanaspis (Ach.)Haf., Lobothallia praeradiosa (Nyl.)Haf. and Lobothallia radiosa (Hoffm.)Haf. Key words: Lichenized Ascomycetes, Aspicilia, Lobothallia, taxonomy. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG: Innerhalb der Gattung Aspicilia coll. werden einige Evolutionslinien aufgezeigt und taxonomische wie nomenklatorische Konsequenzen für gewtihnlich als Sphaerothallia Nees bezeichnete Arten werden diskutiert. Lobothallia (Clauzade & Roux) Hafellner wird in den Gattungsrang erhoben und folgende neue Kombinationen werden vorgeschlagen: Lobythallia alphoplaca (Wahlenb. in Ach) Haf., Lobothallia melanaspis (Ach) Haf., Lobothallia praeradiosa (NYL.) Haf. und Lobothallia radiosa (Hoffm.)Haf. Schltisselwórter: Licheniscerte Ascomyceten, Aspiclia, Lobothallia, Taxonomie. EINLEITUNG Der schon von Massalongo (1852) beschriebenen Gattung Aspicilia war emn wechselvolles Schicksal beschieden. Ober lange Zeit in Lecanora eingeschlossen und oft in dieser als Subgenus bewertet (z.B. Magnusson 1939, Poelt 1958, Eigler 1969), hat sich erst in jtingerer Zeit die Erkenntnis allgemein durchgesetzt, daB Aspicilia mit Lecanora nicht ndher verwandt ist (Poelt 1974, Roux 1977, Hawksworth & al. 1980, Santesson 1984, Clauzade & Roux 1984, 1987, Hafellner 1984, Esnault 1985), obwohl einige Autoren schon früh die Selbstdndigkeit betont hatten (z.B. Kürber 1855, Hue 1910, Choisy 1929). Poelt (1974) hat sogar die neue Familie Aspiciliaceae vorgeschlagen, urn die taxonomische Distanz zwischen Aspicilia und Lecanora augenfdllig zu machen.
