Notes on lichenized fungi of chroodiscoid Thelotremataceae from China

Abstract

Chinese collections representing eleven species in four genera of lichenized chroodiscoid Thelotremataceae are reviewed taxonomically. Four species—Astrochapsa platycarpella, Chapsa patens, C. diploschistoides, C. pulchra—are reported as new records for China. Each new record is described, illustrated, and discussed in detail. Descriptions and remarks are also provided for the other seven species previously reported from China—Astrochapsa mirabilis, Chapsa indica, C. leprocarpa, Chroodiscus argillaceus, Reimnitzia santensis, Rhabdodiscus asiaticus, and Xalocoa ocellata.
