Brownlielloideae, a new subfamily in the Teloschistaceae (Lecanoromycetes, Ascomycota)

Abstract

Brownlielloideae, a new subfamily in the Teloschistaceae, is proposed based on phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal DNA and 12S SSU mitochondrial DNA sequences. The data indicates that the new subfamily includes eight genera, i.e. Brownliella, Marchantiana and six new genera proposed here, Lazarenkoella, Raesaeneniana, Streimanniella, Tarasginia, Tayloriella and Thelliana. Lecanora kobeana Nyl. is lectotypified and shown to be an older name for the type species of the genus Brownliella, B. aequata. In addition, a seventh new genus, Neobrownliella is proposed in the subfamily Teloschistoideae. This new genus and the new species, Thelliana pseudokiamae are described. 13 new combinations are proposed: Brownliella kobeana, Fulgogasparrea appressa, Lazarenkoella zoroasteriorum, Neobrownliella brownlieae, N. montisfracti, Raesaeneniana maulensis, Streimanniella burneyensis, S. kalbiorum, S. michelagoensis, S. seppeltii, Tarasginia tomareeana, T. whinrayi and Tayloriella erythrosticta.

New monophyletic branches of the Teloschistaceae (lichen-forming Ascomycota) proved by three gene phylogeny

“…Hence the number of genera in the Teloschistaceae has increased from 10 in the late 1990s (Kärnefelt 1989) to currently 80 (Arup et al 2013a, Kondratyuk et al 2013b, c, 2015a, c, d, 2016c, d, Søchting et al 2014a, and the family is divided in four subfamilies, Brownlielloideae, Caloplacoideae, Teloschistoideae and Xanthorioideae (Gaya et al 2012, Arup et al 2013b, Kondratyuk et al 2015d.…”

Coppinsiella and Seawardiella – two new genera of the xanthorioideae (teloschistaceae, lichen-forming ascomycota)

“…39 (Kondratyuk et al 2017a(Kondratyuk et al , 2018a. Several special papers on the molecular phylogeny of the representatives of the Xanthorioideae have been published (Fedorenko et al 2009, 2012, Arup et al 2013, Kondratyuk et al 2014, 2015a, b, 2017a, while some monophyletic clades still wait for taxonomic treatment. The aim of this paper is the publication of the new genera Coppinsiella and Seawardiella, which apparently correspond with two branches of the phylogenetic tree of the Xanthorioideae known as the 'Caloplaca ulcerosa' group and the former 'Calogaya lobulata' group.…”
