Kantvilas, G. 2012: Cameronia (lichenized Ascomycetes), a remarkable new alpine genus from Tasmania. - The Lichenologist 44(1): 91-100. [RLL List # 225 / Rec.# 33496]
Keywords: null, asci, dolerite, flora of Australia, lichens, null
Abstract: The new genus, Cameronia Kantvilas, is described and illustrated. It is characterized by a crustose thallus, a chlorococcalean photobiont, deeply immersed perithecioid ascomata, four-spored asci with an intensely hemiamyloid outer wall and non-amyloid, well-developed tholus, and hyaline, muriform ascospores. The taxonomic position of the new genus is uncertain although a relationship with the Ostropomycetidae is likely. Two species, both endemic to the highlands of Tasmania, are described: C. pertusarioides Kantvilas, which is one of the most common lichens on dolerite in alpine Tasmania, and C. tecta Kantvilas, which is confined to metamorphosed sediments.
Notes: New genus: Cameronia Kantvilas; new species: Cameronia pertusarioides Kantvilas and C. tecta Kantvilas
