F. Wang, X. L. Wei & J. C.

ELIX, Tassilo FEUERER, Ingvar KÄRNEFELT, Leena MYLLYS, Tiina RANDLANE, Andres SAAG, Soili STENROOS, Teuvo AHTI and Mark R. D. SEAWARD Abstract: Fourteen genera belong to a monophyletic core of cetrarioid lichens, Ahtiana, Allocetraria, Arctocetraria, Cetraria, Cetrariella, Cetreliopsis, Flavocetraria, Kaernefeltia, Masonhalea, Nephromopsis, Tuckermanella, Tuckermannopsis, Usnocetraria and Vulpicida. A total of 71 samples representing 65 species (of 90 worldwide) and all type species of the genera are included in phylogentic analyses based on a complete ITS matrix and incomplete sets of group I intron, -tubulin, GAPDH and mtSSU sequences. Eleven of the species included in the study are analysed phylogenetically for the first time, and of the 178 sequences, 67 are newly constructed. Two phylogenetic trees, one based solely on the complete ITS-matrix and a second based on total information, are similar, but not entirely identical. About half of the species are gathered in a strongly supported clade composed of the genera Allocetraria, Cetraria s. str., Cetrariella and Vulpicida. Arctocetraria, Cetreliopsis, Kaernefeltia and Tuckermanella are monophyletic genera, whereas Cetraria, Flavocetraria and Tuckermannopsis are polyphyletic. The taxonomy in current use is compared with the phylogenetic results, and future, probable or potential adjustments to the phylogeny are discussed. The single non-DNA character with a strong correlation to phylogeny based on DNA-sequences is conidial shape. The secondary chemistry of the poorly known species Cetraria annae is analyzed for the first time; the cortex contains usnic acid and atranorin, whereas isonephrosterinic, nephrosterinic, lichesterinic, protolichesterinic and squamatic acids occur in the medulla.

A phylogenetic analysis based on nrDNA ITS sequences supports the independence of the new taxon. Diagnostic characters and distribution of the Allocetraria species occurring in China are given, and a key to the identification of the species is provided. Key words— cetrarioid lichens, chemistry, comprehensive analysis, morphology, taxonomy Introduction The lichenized genus Allocetraria Kurok. & M.J.

The genus was originally characterized by dichotomously or subdichotomously branched lobes and foliose to suberect or erect thallus with sparse rhizines, angular to sublinear pseudocyphellae, a palisade plectenchymatous upper cortex, and the presence of usnic acid in the cortex (Kurokawa & Lai 1991).

Key words—biodiversity, Teloschistaceae, Verrucariaceae, taxonomy Introduction Qinghai province is located at 31–39°N 89–103°E on the northeast Tibetan Plateau. The province consists of mountains and high plateaus with an average 3000 m elevation (the lowest basin approximately 2700 m a.s.l.) and featuring numerous lakes, including Qinghai Lake, the second largest saltwater lake in the world (Encyclopedia Britannica 2015, China.org.cn 2015). Such a variable environment, encompassing both xerophytic and halophytic conditions, supports a rich lichen diversity that remains less well explored than in the surrounding provinces of Gansu, Sichuan, Xizang, and Xinjiang.

  • Flavoparmelia Virensica Closely Resembles F
    Xanthoria ligulata colonizes coastal rock, often forming a seamless yellow-orange zone above the high-tide mark. Common in coastal areas throughout New Zealand and in some parts of Australia, it also aggressively colonizes roofing tiles, brick, concrete, mortar, fibre-cement, and other man-made building materials.
