Iqbalia kashmirensis
is for the first time confirmed from South Korea and India on the basis of ‘extraneous mycobiont DNA’ (sensu Kondratyuk
et al
. 2019
b
).
The Carpathian Mts, showing the highest lichen biodiversity in Ukraine, i.e. 1,395 species of 2,106 of the total Ukrainian lichens, have been found to contain the highest proportion of regionally ...unique taxa (i.e. so far recorded only from the Carpathian Mts) (i.e. 551 species, or 39.5% of the Carpathian and 26.2% of the total Ukrainian lichen flora). Species diversity of widely distributed lichens (i.e. which hitherto known from all five macroregions of Ukraine), as well as ‘scarcely distributed’ lichens (i.e. missing at least in one or more macroregions) are also discussed. Representation of these three groups of lichens in the geomorphological districts of the Carpathian Mts and the administrative oblasts Zakarpattia, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi is shown.
The Chornohora Mts, a district of the Carpathian Mts, found to show the highest proportion of species so far recorded from this district of the Carpathian Mts, while the Eastern Beskydy and the Gorgany Mts are characterised hitherto by the highest species diversity of lichens. That is established that among geomorphological districts of Zakarpattia oblast, the Eastern Beskydy and the Gorgany Mts parts of Zakarpattia oblast territory are characterised by the highest number of species of lichen-forming and lichenicolous fungi in the Carpathian macroregion (674 and 611 species, respectively), and the proportion of regionally unique taxa in these two florae is also the highest (483 species or 71.6% and 453 species or 74.1%, respectively). Lichens of the Chyvchyn Mts of Ivano-Frankivsk oblast are found to be the most diverse in this oblast (344 species totally), and they include the highest proportion of regionally unique taxa (171 species or 49.7%). The Eastern Beskydy Mts, part of Lviv oblast territory, the only part of this oblast in the Carpathian Mts, are found to be represented by 224 lichen species of which 32 (i.e. 14.3%) are regionally unique to the Carpathian Mts.
List of the rarest taxa of the regionally unique group (hitherto known from single or a few localities) proposed as candidates for including to regional red lists of Zakarpattia, Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk and Chernivtsi oblasts since the whole nature protection activity in Ukraine is done according to oblast division. 254 lichen species are proposed for including in the red list of Zakarpattia oblast, while 44, 4 and 9 species in the red lists of Ivano-Frankivsk, Lviv and Chernivtsi oblasts, respectively. The smallest amount of these taxa is proposed for the red list of Lviv oblast, which includes also the Forest zone of the Ukrainian Plains.
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
.
Three genera new for science, i.e.
Candelinella
S. Y. Kondr. for the
Candelariella makarevichiae
group,
Opeltiella
S. Y. Kondr. for the
Candelaria fraudans
group, as well as
Protocandelariella
Poelt, ...D. Liu, J.-S. Hur et S. Y. Kondr. for the
Candelariella subdeflexa
group are proposed for robust monophyletic branches of the Candelariaceae on the basis of three-gene phylo- geny (i.e. concatenated nrITS, 12S mtSSU and 28S nrLSU sequences). Eight new combinations, i.e.
Candelinella makarevichiae
(for
Candelariella makarevichiae
S. Y. Kondr., L. Lokos et J.-S. Hur),
Candelinella deppeanae
(for
Candelariella deppeanae
M. Westb.),
Opeltiella fraudans
(for
Candelaria fraudans
Poelt et Oberw.),
Opeltiella fibrosoides
(for
Candelaria fibrosoides
M. Westb. et Froden),
Opeltiella rubrisoli
(for
Candelariella rubrisoli
D. Liu et J.-S. Hur),
Opeltiella canadensis
(for
Candelariella canadensis
H. Magn.),
Protocandelariella subdeflexa
(for
Lecanora subdeflexa
Nyl.),
Protocandelariella blastidiata
(for
Candelariella blastidiata
L. Yakovchenko) are provided.
Molecular data provided for
Candelinella makarevichiae
(including holotype and iso- type), as well as additional specimens of
Candelaria asiatica
from South Korea for the first time. The latter species
(Candelaria asiatica)
from China, as well as
’Candelaria’ murrayi
from Argentina, South America are recorded for the first time. Voucher of
Candelariella vitellina
from Antarctica is also identified based on molecular phylogeny. It is for the first time shown that
’Candelaria’murrayi
is positioned in the outermost position to
Candelaria
s. str. branch of the phylogenetic tree of the Candelariaceae, and may belong to another genus. Status of the
’Candelariella’
medians group, the
’Candelariella’ placodizans
group, as well as single species
’Candelariella’reflexa
and
’Candelaria’ pacifica,
forming separate branches outside the
Candelariella
s. str. and
Candelaria
s. str. clades, will be clarified when additional molecular data will be accumulated.
Candelariella subsquamulosa
D. Liu et Hur, recently described from South Korea (Liu
et al.
2019), proved to be a new synonym of
Candelinella makarevichiae.
Seven genera new to science, i.e.: Helmutiopsis, Huriopsis, Johnsheardia, Klauskalbia, Kudratovia, Kurokawia and Poeltonia of the Physciaceae are proposed for the ‘Rinodina’ atrocinerea, the ...‘Rinodina’ xanthophaea, the ‘Rinodina’ cinnamomea, the ‘Heterodermia’ obscurata, the ‘Rinodina’ straussii, the ‘Anaptychia’ isidiata and the ‘Physconia’ grisea groups consequently that all form strongly supported monophyletic branches in a phylogeny analysis based on a combined matrix of nrITS and mtSSU sequences.
Phylogenetic positions of species belonging to the genera
Kashiwadia
s. l.,
Leucodermia, Mischoblastia,Oxnerella, Phaeorrhiza
s. l.,
Polyblastidium
and
Rinodinella
s. l. are discussed.
Oxnerella afghanica
which for the first time recorded as parasitic lichen species from both epiphytic and saxicolous crustose lichens is designated as type species for the genus
Oxnerella
.
Sequences of the recently described
Physcia orientostellaris
as well as
Huriopsis xanthophaea
and additional sequences of
Kashiwadia
aff.
orientalis
and
Mischoblastia
aff.
oxydata
are submitted to the GenBank.
The positions of
Polyblastidium casaterrinum
from Costa Rica, ‘
Rinodina
’
efflorescens
from Białowieża, Poland, and ‘
Mischoblastia
’
confragosula
from Cambodia in the Physciaceae are confirmed in a phylogeny analysis based on the nrITS sequences.
The presence of ‘extraneous mycobiont DNA’ in lichen associations is exemplified with earlier incorrect identifications of
Heterodermia, Kashiwadia, Kurokawia,Oxnerella
and
Poeltonia
specimens.

The first enumeration of members of the Teloschistaceae status of which hitherto confirmed by three gene phylogeny based on nrITS, nrLSU and mtSSU sequences is provided. The enumeration includes also ...taxa for which minimum two nuclear (nrITS or/and nrLSU) and mitochondrial DNA sequences hitherto available with references to publications where they are published. The enumeration including 590 species is alphabetically arranged after 115 accepted generic names within five subfamilies, i.e.: Xanthorioideae (271 species), Caloplacoideae (217 species), Teloschistoideae (69 species), Brownlielloideae (23 species), and Ikaerioideae (10 species). Accepted names are provided in bold and in italics, while synonymous names previously included in the genera Caloplaca, Xanthoria or Teloschistes as well as some taxa of the genera Polycauliona, Gyalolechia, Dufourea are provided in italics only. Recently described or combined taxa within genera segregated aft er molecular phylogeny data are briefly discussed. Six new combinations are proposed for the following taxa: Huriella osseophila (for Squamulea osseophila Søchting et Bungartz), Huriella phyllidizans (for Caloplaca phyllidizans Wetmore), Loekoeslaszloa catillarioides (for Caloplaca catillarioides Arup et van den Boom), Pyrenodesmia areolata (for Caloplaca cerina var. areolata Zahlbr.), Pyrenodesmia emilii (for Caloplaca emilii Vondrák, Khodos., Cl.
