“…Although the genus Arthonia received much less attention in Asia compared to Europe and America, several Asian countries have actively studied Arthonia . In particular, in Asia, India has explored the genus the most since 2000 and dynamic studies such as local detection, new species/records discovery, diversity assessment and ethnolichenological survey for Arthonia were reported [3,4,5,6]. Turkey disclosed new species and records and reported other Arthonia species which were detected locally [7,8,9].…”
