Fayyaz, I./ Afshan, N.U.S./ Niazi, A.R./ Khalid, A.N. 2022: Aspicilia nigromaculata sp. nov. (Megasporaceae, Pertusariales, Ascomycota) from Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Pakistan, evidence from morphology and DNA sequencing data. - Botanica Serbica 46(1): 105-11. [RLL List # 271 / Rec.# 43975]
Abstract: A new species of Megasporaceae, Aspicilia nigromaculata sp. nov. is described and illustrated from Pakistan. A comparative morpho-anatomical study and ITS- LSU-based molecular analyses confirmed its position within the genus Aspicilia. It differs from the other species of the genus by the following set of features: a well-developed, grey to greenish grey frequently black spotted thick thallus, well- developed thicker peripheral and flat to slightly concave areoles, and small conidia 10-15 × 0.5-1 μm. Its positioning in a separate branch in the phylogenetic tree also makes it distinct from the other known species of the genus.
Countries/Continents: Pakistan/Asia
Notes: New: Aspicilia nigromaculata Fayyaz, Afshan, Niazi & Khalid (from Pakistan).
