LENDEMER AND RICHARD C. HARRIS ABSTRACT. – The type material of Bacidia leucampyx was examined and the name found to be conspecific with B. schweinitzii. It is formally placed in synonymy with B. schweinitzii. Examination of the type and original material of Pertusaria shenandoensis revealed the name is based on immature specimens of Pertusaria plittiana. The chemical variability of P. plittiana is discussed and the name P. shenandoensis is placed in synonymy with P. plittiana. The following taxa are reported for the first time from North America: Arthonia colombiana (on Cladonia species from Maine, U.S.A. and Quebec, Canada), A. coronata (on Cladonia digitata, Flavoparmelia caperata, and Parmeliopsis hyperopta in Maine, U.S.A. and Quebec, Canada), and Rosellinula haplospora (on Aspicilia cinerea from the Yukon Territory, Canada). INTRODUCTION During the course of routine organizational work in the herbarium of The New York Botanical Garden (NY) in 2012 we uncovered new information relating to two poorly understood and overlooked names of lichens described from eastern North America: Bacidia leucampyx (Tuck.) Dodge and Pertusaria shenandoensis Dibben. Review of the literature and loans of material from other herbaria allowed us to finally resolve the identity of these names. We present the results of our findings in the present contribution, which continues the series which ended last with the publication of Knudsen et al. (2011). In addition to the resolution of two little used names we report three lichenicolous fungi for the first time from North America, based on material collected during recent fieldwork. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study is based primarily on specimens collected by the authors and deposited in the herbarium of the New York Botanical Garden (NY). In addition to this material, specimens were borrowed on loan from DUKE, FH, HBG and US. Chemical and morphological investigations were carried out using the methods outlined in detail by Lendemer et al. (2008). TAXONOMIC SECTION 1. Arthonia colombiana Etayo, Bibliotheca Lichenologica 84: 23. 2002. TYPE: COLOMBIA: Nariño, Pasto, Serranía de Morasurco, 3000-3300 m, en Cladonia sp, 25.vii.1998, J. Etayo 15934 (COL[n.v.], holotype; hb. Etayo[n.v.], isotype). DISCUSSION. – The lichenicolous species Arthonia colombiana (fig. 1) is here reported for the first time from North America. It is the only lichenicolous Arthonia with orange ascomatal pigment (KOH+ red purple) reported to occur on Cladonia squamules. The ascospores are 1-septate, soon becoming dark and warted, and 13-16 x 5-6 µm in size (12-15 x 4.5-5.5 µm fide Etayo (2002)). In North American material the ascomata are orangish to dark brown and the host squamules appear bleached around the ascomata apparently due to the death of the Cladonia photobiont and replacement by scattered filaments of 1 JAMES C.

Scottish material of this taxon was also found to be associated with Trentepohlia and as such A. colombiana was proposed to be a “lichenicolous lichen” by Coppins and Aptroot (2009). Arthonia colombiana was described from unidentified Cladonia species occurring at high elevations in Colombia (Etayo 2002). It has also been reported from Scotland where it was found on C. pyxidata (L.) Hoffm. and C. squamosa Hoffm. (Coppins & Aptroot 2009). The North American populations we have encountered are most commonly on C. squamosa, although the species has also been found on C. ochrochlora Flörke. Based on the available material, and the previous literature reports, it appears that this species has an oceanic distribution in the Northern Hemisphere (e.g., Clerc & May 2007, Degelius 1935, Jørgensen 1996).

Etayo 12603 (MA-Lich[n.v.], holotype; hb. Etayo[n.v.], isotype). DISCUSSION. – Arthonia coronata (fig. 2), a distinctly odd lichenicolous fungus, is here newly reported for North American. The species is immediately recognizable by the black ascomata bristling with short brown setae and by growing among the soredia of various host lichens. The ascospores are 1-septate, colorless to pale brown, and 11-14 x 3.5-5 µm in size (Etayo 1996). Etayo (1996) discussed the possibility that A. coronata may not be correctly placed in Arthonia which seems probable since the setose ascomata are unique. It is tempting to speculate that the setae serve to anchor the ascomata to the highly unstable soredia. Arthonia coronata was described from the soralia of Flavoparmelia caperata (L.) Hale and the two collections from Maine are also on this host. Etayo (1996) reported it from France, Spain and the Canary Islands (Gomera). It has since been found in Scotland on Cladonia ochrochlora Flörke and C. subulata (L.) F. H. Wigg. (Coppins & Aptroot 2009). The specimens from Quebec that we have examined were found on C. digitata (L.) Hoffm. and the soralia of Parmeliopsis hyperopta (Ach.) Arnold. The only unifying theme as regards host taxa seems to be the production of soredia. As is the case for A. colombiana reported above, based on the available data A. coronata appears to have an oceanic distribution in the Northern Hemisphere. Specimens examined. – CANADA. QUEBEC.

DISCUSSION. – While organizing our reprint collection we came across a publication by C.W. Dodge documenting the lichens of the Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec, Canada (Dodge 1926). In reading this publication we discovered that Dodge had proposed the new combination Bacidia leucampyx for the name Biatora leucampyx. Since we were unfamiliar with both of these names we searched for them in Index Fungorum and on the checklist of North American lichens (Esslinger 2011), both without success.

    Revision of the Lichen Genus Aspicilia in Sweden

    SWEDISH TAXONOMY INITIATIVE RESEARCH REPORT Project period: 2005–2007 Anders Nordin Museum of Evolution, Uppsala University LICHENS: Revision of the lichen genus Aspicilia in Sweden The Swedish representatives of the lichen genus Aspicilia have been revised. The species have been studied in the field in different parts of the country, and material has been collected, altogether c. 500 samples. Herbarium material from Uppsala (UPS) and a number of additional herbaria has also been studied. Total DNA has been extracted from c. 250 collections not older than 10 years. Morphology and chemistry have been studied with traditional methods, including HPLC. Of the 74 species recorded in Sweden only about 45 remain, including a number of undescribed species, two of which have been described (Nordin et al. 2011). The decreased number is a result of synonymizations (Nordin et al. 2007, Nordin 2013, 2015) and disclosure of incorrect determinations, and one species, Aspicilia moenium, is not an Aspicilia but belongs in Acarosporaceae (Nordin et al. 2009). From the extracted DNA, ITS sequences have been produced from all samples, and from a reduced number also nuLSU and mtSSU sequences. The ITS sequences have been used for evaluation of species delimitations. Sequences from specimens resembling the types of the species known from one or a few collections have been of particular importance. ITS sequences have also been used for phylogenetic analyses. The groups resulting from these are robust and are largely supported by analyses of the nuLSU and mtSSU sequences. The latter were used in a study of the phylogeny at family level (Nordin et al.

Lendemer: Institute of Systematic Botany, The New York Botanical Garden, Bronx, NY 10458-5126 USA ABSTRACT. Based upon voucher collections, 108 lichen species are reported from the Indiana Forest Alliance Ecoblitz area, a 900 acre unit in Morgan-Monroe and Yellowwood State Forests, Brown and Monroe Counties, Indiana. The lichen biota of the study area was characterized as: i) dominated by species with green coccoid photobionts (80% of taxa); ii) comprised of 49% species that reproduce primarily with lichenized diaspores vs. 44% that reproduce primarily through sexual ascospores; iii) comprised of 65% crustose taxa, 29% foliose taxa, and 6% fruticose taxa; iv) one wherein many species are rare (e.g., 55% of species were collected fewer than three times) and fruticose lichens other than Cladonia were entirely absent; and v) one wherein cyanolichens were poorly represented, comprising only three species. Taxonomic diversity ranged from 21 to 56 species per site, with the lowest diversity sites concentrated in riparian corridors and the highest diversity sites on ridges. Low Gap Nature Preserve, located within the study area, was found to have comparable species richness to areas outside the nature preserve, although many species rare in the study area were found only outside preserve boundaries. Sets of rare species are delimited and discussed, as are observations as to the overall low abundance of lichens on corticolous substrates and the presence of many unhealthy foliose lichens on mature tree boles.

Aspicilia goettweigensis is a poorly known species from xerothermic siliceous rocks in Europe. It is considered to be com- mon in the Czech Republic and it is new to Hungary and Russia. Th e main diagnostic character is formation of cracked, popcorn-like, areoles in the central parts of the thalli. Analysis of nrITS sequences revealed its close relationship to Aspicilia subdepressa and A. volcanica . TLC revealed stictic acid in analysed A. goettweigensis samples. A key to non-lobate Aspicilia with stictic acid known from Europe is provided. Th e genus Aspicilia s.l. belongs to Megasporaceae (Schmitt lichens (Clauzade and Roux 1985, Wirth 1995, Wirth et al.
