Byssoloma rubromarginatum (Pilocarpaceae: Ascomycota), a new corticolous species from Nothofagus forests in Argentina

Fellhanera crucitignorum, a blastidiate crustose lichen with anthraquinones and submuriform ascospores, is described as new to science. The species is associated with exposures of non-calcareous sandstones in Kansas and Oklahoma, in the southern portion of North America's Great Plains. The authraquinones are typically concentrated in the blastidia, creating a distinctive grey thallus with localized orange granules.

A new species ofFellhanera(lichenized Ascomycota:Pilocarpaceae) from central North America

“…is the type genus of the Pilocarpaceae (lichenized Ascomycota) and is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide (Lücking 2008). At present, 58 species are recognized worldwide, growing mainly on living leaves and bark, sometimes on rocks and on the thalli of other lichens (Santesson 1952;James 1971;Vězda 1975Vězda , 1986Vězda , 1987Vězda , 1994Sérusiaux 1978Sérusiaux , 1979Sérusiaux , 1996Sérusiaux , 1998Kalb & Vězda 1990, 1994Coppins et al 1992;Sipman & Aptroot 1992;Fárkas & Vězda 1993;Malcolm & Vězda 1995;Ekman 1996;Kondratyuk 1996;Aptroot et al 1997;Lücking et al 1998Lücking et al , 2002Thor et al 2000;Sérusiaux et al 2002;Schubert et al 2003;Lücking 2006Lücking , 2008Lücking , 2013Messuti & de la Rosa 2007;Lumbsch et al 2011;Breuss 2013Breuss , 2014Cáceres et al 2013;Aptroot 2014;van den Boom 2016;Elix & McCarthy 2018;Wang et al 2020a). The genus Byssoloma is characterized by its byssoid apothecial margin (inconspicuous in some species) and I+ dark blue asci with a tubular structure at the apices ('Byssoloma type' in Hafellner (1984)), pyriform or oblong conidia, and mainly transversely 1-7-septate ascospores, sometimes up to 19(-23)-septate in some species (Sérusiaux 1993;…”

Byssoloma orientale (Pilocarpaceae, Ascomycota), a new species from East Asia

Miyazawa,

Ohmura

2023

A new species, Byssoloma orientale K. Miyaz. & Y. Ohmura, is described from East Asia. It is characterized by a minutely farinose light green thallus, apothecia with a well-developed byssoid margin that spreads laterally over the thallus surface, a pure black apothecial disc caused by the presence of an aeruginous pigment in the epithecium, (7–)9–12(–17)-septate cylindrical colourless ascospores, and oblong conidia. This species grows on living leaves as well as on tree bark. The molecular phylogenetic position of B. orientale within this genus was inferred based on mtSSU sequences, and the species was shown to be closely related to B. vanderystii, which has up to 7-septate ascospores and an absence of aeruginous pigment in the epithecium.

A molecular study of the lichen genus Byssoloma Trevisan (Pilocarpaceae) with descriptions of three new species from China

Wang¹,

et al. 2020

A molecular phylogeny of the genus Byssoloma is inferred from mtSSU sequences using Bayesian and maximum likelihood phylogenetic analyses. Byssoloma subdiscordans is resolved as sister to B. citricola rather than to the B. leucoblepharum clade, the B. subundulatum group (species with a compact apothecial margin) is shown to be a monophyletic group, and three species belonging to this group are described as new to science from Hainan Province in China: B. brunneodiscum W. C. Wang & J. C. Wei, with dark brown apothecia, crystals in the excipulum and the presence of 2,5,7-trichloro-3-O-methylnorlichexanthone; B. rubrofuscum W. C. Wang & J. C. Wei, with red-brown apothecia, 3–6-septate ascospores and the presence of 5,7-dichloro-3-O-methylnorlichexanthone; B. melanodiscocarpum W. C. Wang & J. C. Wei, with pure black apothecia, a K+ olive-black hypothecium and the presence of thiophanic acid.
