Molecular analyses of ITS nrDNA, using 42 new and 56 GenBank sequences, revealed 12 supported lineages of Athallia consistent with phenotype data. We regard these lineages as species. Eight of them were previously recognized as species in Athallia, and here we make three new combinations: A. baltistanica, A. brachyspora, and A. necator. Eight of th...

Almost 40 species, spanning several of the segregate genera (e.g. Athallia, Catenarina, Flavoplaca, Gyalolechia, Pachypeltis, Variolaria), are obligately or facultatively lichenicolous (Poelt & Hinteregger 1993;Nimis et al. 1994;Vondrák et al. 2016;Diederich et al. 2018). In general, many of these lichenicolous Caloplaca species have a comparatively wide range of hosts and their distribution appears to be determined as much by their substratum as by the taxonomy of their host lichen. ...

Caloplaca tephromelae Kantvilas, Suija & Motiej., a lichenicolous species growing on saxicolous thalli of species of Tephromela , is described from Tasmania. The new species is characterized by lecanorine to zeorine apothecia with a whitish grey thalline margin devoid of anthraquinone pigments, a non-inspersed hymenium, paraphyses without oil vacuoles and ascospores 10–14 × 5–8 μm, with a septum 5–8 μm thick. It is compared with selected taxa of Caloplaca s. lat. that share these salient features. Molecular data support the distinctiveness of the new species but do not suggest any obvious close relatives.

In this study where the lichen biodiversity of Gölcük Nature Park and its surroundings in Isparta province located in the north-western part of Mediterranean Region of Turkey is assessed, a list of 189 lichenized fungi species (192 taxa) is reported. The most frequent 3 species in the study area are Melanohalea exasperata, Anaptychia ciliaris and Lecidella elaeochroma. Distribution of lichenized fungi depending on the substrate, respectively, is (41.67%) epiphytic, (36.56%) saxicolous, (14.52%) terricolous, (3.76%) muscicolous and (3.49%) lichenicolous. On a morphological basis, the crustose lichen taxa predominate in the area with 55.50% percentage, followed by the foliose (25.13%) and the squamulose (7.85%) taxa, while the leprose taxa are the fewest. Among the identified taxa, 73 species are firstly recorded for the research area and Isparta province. Diplotomma pharcidium (Ach.) M. Choisy, Flavoplaca granulosa (Müll. Arg.)

... Species of Caloplaca in the broad sense often form a conspicuous part of the lichen communities in which they occur due to the yellow to orange colour of the thallus or apothecia in many taxa. The species-level taxonomy in Europe has changed significantly in recent years due to more detailed studies, supported by DNA sequencing, which have revealed additional taxa within formerly more broadly defined species or species-groups, including C. cerina (Šoun et al. 2011), C. citrina (Arup 2006;Vondrák et al. 2009), C. crenulatella , C. herbidella (Arup & Åkelius 2009) and C. holocarpa (Arup 2009;Vondrák et al. 2012Vondrák et al. , 2016. Traditionally, growth habit was used as a major generic character in Teloschistaceae and the genus Caloplaca was restricted to species with crustose or placodioid thalli. ...

Caloplaca sol is described as a new species from limestone and basic siliceous rocks on the southern and western coasts of Great Britain. It is characterized by a well-developed, crustose, non-placodioid, epilithic, cracked, orange-yellow thallus, almost concolorous apothecia up to 0·66 mm diameter, and ascospores c . 11·0– 12·2 –13·0 µm long with a septum c . 0·4×the ascospore length. Caloplaca dalmatica is related but differs in the endolithic or only thinly epilithic thallus. Caloplaca marina is darker orange in colour, with more convex areoles, and is mostly confined to the splash zone of the seashore. Caloplaca maritima differs in the typically more convex, sometimes isolated areoles, and often in the presence of a crenulate thalline margin in young apothecia. Caloplaca itiana is newly reported from Great Britain from coastal limestone; it differs from C. sol in the thallus being endolithic or almost so, and from C. dalmatica in the more completely endolithic thallus and the larger ascospores.

Teloschistaceae, one of the largest families of lichenized fungi, has its known Eurasian diversity hot-spots in the Mediterranean basin and in arid continental territories. The Caucasus is a natural boundary between these territories and the diversity of Teloschistaceae is therefore expected to be high in this region. We studied the easternmost part of the Caucasus, Dagestan, a region neglected by lichenologists in the past, but with recent lichenological activity. We provide here a checklist of 85 species of Teloschistaceae, 39 of them new to Dagestan from our field work in 2015, and four species new to Russia (Athallia nesodes, "Caloplaca" emilii, "Caloplaca" xerica and Gyalolechia epiphyta). This total is higher than the numbers known from some well-surveyed Central European countries, but lower than numbers reported from Mediterranean countries. It suggests a rather high diversity of Teloschistaceae in Dagestan, although the absence of well-developed maritime and Mediterranean habitats (which are usually rich in species of Teloschistaceae) precludes an even higher diversity.
