... Of all these taxa, Rinodina anomala is a new record for Turkey. This species is widely distributed in the southern Europe and Macaronesia and is also known from Dalmatia, Portugal, Spain, Sardinia, Canary Isles, Corsica, Croatia, Cazziol Island and Lagosta (Giralt and Matzer, 1994). ...
Epiphytic lichens are biological indicators, which can give information about the environmental changes of the ecosystem. The differences in
richness and community compositions of lichens can indicate the environmental quality of their location. This study was done in order to examine the possible differences in richness and in community composition of lichens that may have occurred in the research area, Kurşunlu Waterfall Nature Park and surroundings.
Kurşunlu Waterfall Nature Park and surroundings was divided into 4 sections; natural area near brook, natural pine forest area, planted
pine forest area and agricultural greenhouses area. The study was planned to focus on epiphytic lichens living on Pinus brutia Ten. trees. European Guideline, which is a standardized method to assess lichen diversity (LDV) on tree bark for monitoring environmental stress, was used for monitoring quality of four different environmental conditions with lichens. In order to determine the differences of lichen community
composition of these four conditions, some statistical analyses were
performed.
Lichen richness of planted pine forest area was found poorer and statistically different than the other areas. In addition, the lichen community composition of natural pine forest area was found
significantly different than the agricultural greenhouse area and the
natural area near brook, partly different than the planted pine forest
area. Statistical evaluations indicate that the natural pine forest area
had natural or semi-natural habitat characteristics and there was no
or less eutrophication in this region. Also it showed that other areas
were affected by the presence of human damage and eutrophic
pollution load in the environment. This eutrophic pollution load was
related to non-ecological agriculture applications around the park.
This study proves that epiphytic lichens change their
community composition by adapting to changes in environmental
conditions. Also this study showed that lichens are strong indicators of environmental quality.

In 2017 Rinodina biloculata was collected in a thicket of shrub-shaped willows in a former reed bed in the Biesbosch. It was found two metres high on a branch of Salix dasyclados, together with Lecanora carpinea and Lecidella elaeochroma. The species is depicted and its morphology and differentiation with similar species are discussed. A provisional map of the distribution of R. biloculata in Europe is presented based on literature. With this new locality, the limit of its predominately southern distribution along the Atlantic mainland coast is shifted several hundred kilometres to the north. This may have been triggered by a warmer climate in the Netherlands.

Les auteurs présentent un état des connaissances des lichens et des champignons lichénicoles non lichénisés de l’île de Cavallo puis donnent les résultats de leur étude, menée en 2014, qui a permis d’établir une liste de 109 taxons dont 31 nouvellement observés en Corse-du-Sud. Parmi ceux-ci, 3 lichens, Amandinea maritima, Catillaria servitii, Ramalina bourgeana et
Ramalina clementeana, ainsi qu’un champignon non lichénisé lichénicole, Polycoccum rinodinae, sont signalés pour la première fois en France. La présence de Ramalina bourgeana, anciennement mentionné sans localité en Corse en 1900 par Jatta, est confirmée. Cypheliopsis mediterranea, connu jusqu’ici seulement dans une seule station de France (presqu’île de Giens, Var, Crozals, 1924), a été observé plusieurs fois sur Cavallo et fait partie des taxons nouvellement observés en Corse-du-Sud. Seules les espèces intéressantes (typiques de l’étage thermoméditerranéen) ou nouvellement citées sont commentées. La liste complète des taxons identifiés à la suite des prospections de terrain est fournie en annexe.
... Sheard 1967). In ascospores with Physconia-type ontogeny, the septum is inserted before any inner wall thickening appears ( Fig. 2A), whereas in Orcularia-type ascospores, the septum is inserted after lateral inner wall thickenings become distinct (compare the Orcularia-type ascospore-ontogeny of R. biloculata in Giralt & Matzer 1994, fig Because of their polarilocular ascospores, the specimens of Amandinea myrticola were identified as Rinodina biloculata, with Orcularia-type ascospores. Apart from the different ascospore-type, R. biloculata can easily be separated from A. myrticola by the larger ascospores, of 12-18 × 7-10 m, which are ± citriform in shape and, according to Giavarini et al. (2009), the bacilliform conidia. ...
Amandinea myrticola is described as new from Portugal. This corticolous species is characterized by the thin, smooth to minutely rugose and greyish thallus lacking secondary metabolites, the small lecideine apothecia which exhibit a pseudothalline margin when young and the small, smooth, Physconia-type ascospores with strongly pronounced and persistent median wall thickenings. It occurs on smooth bark in two localities characterized by a Mediterranean climate with an Atlantic influence.

The species has lecideine to pseudolecanorine apothecia, Physcia-type ascospores and Lecanora-type asci (Giralt & Matzer 1994; Rambold et al. 1994; Giralt et al. 2010a). The species was described as Buellia lindingeri by Erichsen (1926) with material from Macaronesia and all subsequent records have been from this region (Giralt & Matzer 1994; Giralt et al. 2010a). ...

To test the phylogenetic position of phenotypically peculiar species in the Physciaceae we generated 47 new sequences (26 of nrITS region and 21 of mtSSU rDNA) from 19 crustose taxa of Physciaceae mainly from the genus Rinodina. Phylogenetic analysis confirmed the Buellia and Physcia groups. The analysis revealed a considerable variability of characters traditionally used for classification, especially in the delimitation of the genera Buellia and Rinodina. While ascus types agree well with the distinction of the Buellia and Physcia groups, none of the other traditional characters, including excipulum type and ascospore thickening, were consistent within subclades of the Physcia group. We suggest that both excipulum type and ascospore characters are rather dynamic in the evolution of Rinodina species and only appear consistent in morphologically more complex foliose and fruticose groups, which are characterized by thallus characters not present in the crustose groups. Two recent taxonomic changes are supported by molecular characters: Endohyalina insularis (syn. 'Rinodina' insularis) and Rinodina lindingeri (syn. 'Buellia' lindingeri). In addition Rinodina parvula (syn. 'Buellia' parvula) is reinstated. New records for Endohyalina brandii, E. diederichii, E. insularis and Rinodina albana are presented.

A comparative study of the morphology, anatomy and chemistry of Buellia lindingeri and Rinodina hallii clearly shows that these taxa are very closely related but not conspecific. The unique epihymenia distinguishes them from most species of both Buellia and Rinodina but, as they are more closely related to Rinodina, Buellia lindingeri is transferred to that genus.
... The same ascospore character induced Kalb and Hafellner (1992) to describe R. madeirensis Kalb & Hafellner as a Rinodina. Giralt and Matzer (1994) pointed out that the most reliable features to distinguish Buellia from Rinodina were those of the ascospores and retained R. kalbii and R. madeirensis in Rinodina. ...

The genus Endohyalina is characterized by crustose, autonomous, or obligately lichenicolous thalli, lecideine apothecia with a hymenium often more or less inspersed with oil droplets and a brown hypothecium, Bacidia-type asci, small Dirinaria-type ascospores developing with type B ontogeny, bacilliform conidia and containing diploicin as the major secondary metabolite. The genus is based on four species previously included in Rinodina-R. ericina s. lat., R. insularis, R. interjecta and R. kalbii-and on two lichenicolous species from the Canary Islands described here as new, Endohyalina brandii and E. diederichii. The generic type, Endohyalina rappii, is reduced to synonymy with E. ericina whereas E. circumpallida is excluded from the genus and returned to Buellia s. lat. Except for the thalline growth form and the common lichenicolous habit, the diagnostic characters of Endohyalina are akin to those of Diploicia. New chemical data on Endohyalina insularis and E. kalbii are reported, and a simple method for determining the secondary chemistry of lichenicolous fungi is provided.
... This species and the closely related R. insularis and R. kalbii (= R. ericina-group) were provisionally included in Rinodina because of their ascospores with internal wall thickenings (see Giralt & Matzer 1994, Giralt 2000. Nevertheless, at present, the generic position of the species of the R. ericina-group is unclear. ...
... The record of R. hallii in (H-P 2001) probably refers to this species. Further information can be found in Giralt & Matzer (1994 ...
Twenty-six species and two varieties of the genus Rinodina are mentioned from the Canary Islands. Of these, six species R. aspersa (Borrer) J.R.Laundon, R. guzzinii Jatta, R. pyrina (Ach.) Arnold, R. teichophila (Nyl.) Arnold, R. venostana Buschardt & H.Mayrhofer and R. vezdae H.Mayrhofer are recorded as new to this archipelago. Many of the treated Rinodina's are recorded as new for at least one of the Islands. Rinodina abolescens and R. aff. plana have been found foliicolous on Laurus leaves. An annotated list with study results of all the collected specimens is provided. A key to species known to truly occur in the study area is also included.
... Although the lecideine apothecia, brown hypothecia and Bacidia-type asci present in Sculptolumina distinguish it from most Rinodina species, the long filiform conidia totally exclude this synonymy. At present, the only species provisionally retained in Rinodina (Giralt 2000, 2001; Giralt & Matzer 1994) with lecideine apothecia, brown hypothecia and Bacidia-type asci are R. ericina (Nyl.) Giralt, R. insularis (Arnold) Hafellner and R. kalbii Giralt & Matzer (5 R. ericina-group). ...
... Like all other Rinodina species, two of these species have short bacilliform conidia (unknown in R. insularis), to 8 mm long. If the presence of lecideine apothecia, brown hypothecia and Bacidia-type asci makes the generic position of the species of R. insularis group questionable (Giralt & Matzer 1994; Helms et al. 2003; Rambold et al. 1994), the inclusion of Sculptolumina within Rinodina is even more unlikely given that in addition to these features it has long filiform conidia, an important taxonomic character in the Physciaceae. Although molecular studies have yet to include either the R. ericina-group or Sculptolumina, these taxa clearly exhibit characters which distinguish them from Buellia and Rinodina (Helms et al. 2003). ...
Sculptolumina japonica (Tuck.) Marbach, a species growing on lignum, bark or decaying plants and hitherto known from subtropical and tropical areas and one locality in North America, is now reported from Europe (northern Portugal) and the Canary Islands (La Gomera). This species has been found to possess filiform conidia. As a consequence we propose to amend the genus Sculptolumina to accommodate species that have long filiform conidia in addition to hymenial oil droplets and ascospores with internal wall thickenings. New chemical data are reported for S. japonica, the world distribution of this species is mapped and illustrations of the ascospores and conidia are provided.
... This view, however, places greater emphasis on spore characters than on all the characters, including ascus type, that could be considered. For further discussion of these characters and the corticolous species of Rinodina with biatorine or lecideine apothecia the reader should refer to Giralt and Matzer (1994). ...
... The corticolous and lignicolous habit of B. japonica is also noteworthy. Only one corticolous Rinodina species is known with Mischoblastia-type spores, R. euskadiensis Crespo & Aguirre, which has apothecia becoming biatorine-lecideine (retaining a few algal cells) and a hyaline hypothecium (Giralt & Matzer 1994). ...
The lichen Buellia japonica is reported for the first time from North America based on collections from Gorges State Park, North Carolina. A description of the species is provided and its generic placement is discussed.
