Hur, Caloplaca ulleungensis S. Y. Kondr., L. Lőkös et J.-S. Hur, Enterographa dokdoensis S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Neobrownliella salyangensis S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Rufoplaca aesan- ensis S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Squamulea coreana S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, and seven species are from Chile: Caloplaca nothocitrina S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Caloplaca nothoholocarpa S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Caloplaca patagoniensis S. Y. Kondr., S.-O. Oh et J.-S. Hur, Follmannia suborthoclada S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, ‘Lecidea’buellielloides S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Mass- jukiella rusavskioides S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Rehmanniella poeltiana S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, as well as one species, i.e. Pyrenodesmia vernadskiensis S. Y. Kondr., T. O. Kondratiuk et I. Yu. Parnikoza, similar to Antarctic endemic species Huea coralligera, is from Argentine Islands, Western Antarctic Peninsula. The member of the genus Pyrenodesmia A. Massal. is for the first time confirmed by molecular data from the Antarctic.Eighteen new combinations, i.e. Massjukiella impolita (for Caloplaca impolita Arup), Massjukiella pollinarioides (for Xanthoria pollinarioides L. Lindblom et D. M. Wright), Massjukiella stellata (for Caloplaca stellata Wetmore et Karnefelt), Massjukiella tenax (for Xanthoria tenax L. Lindblom), and Massjukiella tenuiloba (for Xanthoria tenuiloba L. Lindblom), Pyrenodesmia albopruinosa (for Biatorina albopruinosa Arnold), Pyrenodesmia ceracea (for Caloplaca ceracea J. R. Laundon), Pyrenodesmia cretensis (for Blastenia cretensis Zahlbr.), Pyrenodesmia erythrocarpa (for Patellaria erythrocarpa Pers.), Pyrenodesmia haematites (for Lecanora haematitesChaub. ex St.-Amans), Pyrenodesmia percrocata (for Blastenia percrocata Arnold), Pyrenodesmia soralifera (for Caloplaca soralifera Vondrak et Hrouzek), Pyrenodesmia transcaspica (for Lecanora transcaspica Nyl.), Pyrenodesmia viridirufa (for Lecidea viridirufa Ach.), Pyrenodesmia xerica (for Caloplaca xerica Poelt et Vezda), as well as Rehmanniella leucoxantha (for Amphilo-ma leucoxanthum Mull. Arg.), Rehmanniella syvashica (for Caloplaca syvashica Khodos., Vond- rak et Soun), and Rehmanniella subgyalectoides (for Caloplaca subgyalectoides S. Y. Kondr. et Karnefelt) are proposed.Buelliella inops and Zwackhiomyces aff. berengerianus are for the first time recorded from South America as well as from Follmannia orthoclada (as lichenicolous fungi). Caloplaca poliotera, Rinodina convexula and Rinodina kozukensis are new to the Republic of Korea, and new localities as well as illustrations for the further 13 new and rare lichen species recently described from Eastern Asia are provided too.

Two new Rinodina lichens from South Korea, with an updated key to the species of Rinodina in the far eastern Asia

“…South Korea, Gangwon Province, Pyeongchang-gun, Daegwallyeong-myeon, Heonggye-ri, a forested wetland, 37°46.00'N, 128°42. Key to the species of Rinodina from the far eastern Asia (63 taxa) Eleven more species have been recorded since Sheard et al (2017), such as Rinodina badiexcipula, R. colobinoides, R. convexula, R. herrei, R. laevigata, R. occulta, R. oxneriana, R. parasitica, R. tephraspis, and two new species from this study (Kondratyuk et al 2016(Kondratyuk et al , 2017Yakovchenko et al 2018;Galanina and Ezhkin 2019;Kondratyuk et al 2020;Galanina et al 2021). Particularly, R. laevigata of Aptroot and Moon (2014) was rejected by Sheard et al (2017), but Galanina et al (2021) confirmed the species in the far eastern Asia.…”

“…Particularly, R. laevigata of Aptroot and Moon (2014) was rejected by Sheard et al (2017) , but Galanina et al (2021) confirmed the species in the far eastern Asia. This key includes all above species except for R. convexula because the species was just announced for a new record to Korea without any specific description for reference ( Kondratyuk et al 2020 ). Rinodina confragosa (Ach.)…”

“…Kondr., Lőkös & Hur and R. tephraspis (Tuck.) Herre from South Korea ( Kondratyuk et al 2016 , 2017 ; Yakovchenko 2018; Kondratyuk et al 2020 ) and R. colobinoides (Nyl.) Müll.…”

“…The species of Rinodina in the far eastern Asia are mainly corticolous and the main genera of the substrate trees are Quercus , Picea , Salix , Betula and Alnus (Fig. 1 ) ( Lendemer et al 2012 ; Sheard et al 2012; Joshi et al 2013 ; Kondratyuk et al 2013 , 2016 , 2017 , 2020 ; Aptroot and Moon 2014 ; Sheard et al 2017 ; Yakovchenko et al 2018 ; Galanina and Ezhkin 2019 ; Gananina et al 2021). Those main substrates vigorously grow in a humid forest, a valley or a wetland, and particularly the genera Salix and Alnus often inhabit the water.…”

Phylogenetic relationships withinPyrenodesmiasensu lato and the role of pigments in its taxonomic interpretation

“…As these three lineages are closely related and form a monophyletic group, it would be possible to unite them all within a single genus Pyrenodesmia including species of the currently informal Caloplaca haematites and C. xerica groups, and therefore extending the original concept of Pyrenodesmia proposed by Massalongo (1852) and accepted by Arup et al (2013) to species with anthraquinones in the apothecia. This option was chosen by Kondratyuk et al (2020a,b). However, uniting all the lineages into one genus will result in a loss of information.…”
