Abstract
The new species Gloeoheppia immersusia sp. nov. is described from Darel Valley, Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan. A comparative morpho-anatomical and chemical study and ITS-based molecular analyse indicated a position of this new species within the genus Gloeoheppia Gyeln. Gloeoheppia immersusia sp. nov. is closely related to G. turgida (Ach.) Gyeln and G. erosa (J. Steiner) Marton, characterized by thallus gelatinose, squamulose to peltate, upper surface blackish brown to dark olive brown, apothecial disc blackish brown to reddish brown, apothecia 0.4 – 1 mm, hymenium 110–150 μm, subhymenium 50–85 μm, exciple 30–42 μm, ascospores 12–18 × 6–9 μm and growing on calcareous rocks. A key and comparison to all existing species of the genus Gloeoheppia is also given.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Asia-Pacific Biodiversity (previous title was Journal of Korean Nature) is an official journal of National Science Museum of Korea (NSMK) and Korea National Arboretum (KNA). The scope of journal is wide and multidisciplinary that publishes original research papers, review articles, as well as conceptual, technical and methodological papers on all aspects of biological diversity-its description, analysis and conservation, and its application by humankind. This wide and multidisciplinary journal aims to provide both scientists and practitioners in conservation theory, policy and management with comprehensive and applicable information. However, papers should not be submitted that deal with microorganisms, except in invited paper. Articles that are focused on the social and economical aspects of biodiversity will be normally not accepted.
