Both areas have been influenced by human activity. In the type locality this species was growing on top of a volcanic outcrop in an open area along a trail, and was associated with  Buellia rugosissima and close to several brownish and yellowish  Acarospora species. The accompanying macrolichens were the same as mentioned under  B. rugosissima . In the second locality, situated on the same mountain slope but at 3150 m elevation, crustose lichens growing nearby included  Buellia aethalea,  B. eganii Bungartz,  Candelariella rosulans (Müll. Arg.) Zahlbr. and  Trapelia coarctata (Sm. &amp; Sow.) M. Choisy. Accompanying macrolichens included  Physcia dubia (Hoffm.) Lettau,  Punctelia borreri (Sm.) Krog.,  Stereocaulon pachycephalum Vain.,  Umbilicaria leprosa (Zahlbr.) Frey and  Xanthoparmelia cumberlandia (Gyeln.) Hale. The latter taxa were reported in van den Boom et al. (2007).</p><p>Notes: ―  Dimelaena subsquamulosa is characterized by the creamy to pale orange-brown thallus composed of thick, subsquamulose areoles, the lecanorine apothecia, the hyaline hypothecium, the  Buellia - type ascospores and the bacilliform conidia. Among the  Physciaceae with a crustose thalli or thalli of an intermediate growth form (i.e. placodioid, subsquamulose to squamulose), only the genus  Phaeorrhiza H. Mayrhofer &amp; Poelt and some species of  Dimelaena Norman show the same combination of diagnostic characters than  D. subsquamulosa .</p><p>The thalline and apothecial characters of this new species are macro- and microscopically very close to  Phaeorrhiza nimbosa (Fr.) H. Mayrhofer &amp; Poelt but it differs in having much smaller squamules, apothecia and ascospores. However, the inclusion of  D. subsquamulosa in  Phaeorrhiza does not seem appropriate since it lacks the typical brown rhizoidal hyphae, the main diagnostic character of this genus (Mayrhofer &amp; Poelt 1978). Further, the ascus of  Phaeorrhiza is of the Lecanora- rather than  Bacidia - type (Rambold et al. 1994).</p><p>As a consequence, the new species is better included in the genus  Dimelaena . Although this genus is generally characterized by placodioid thalli which are areolate in the center and have radiate-plicate marginal lobes, it includes two species,  D. californica (H. Magn.) Sheard and  D. lichenicola K. Knudsen, Sheard, Kokourcová &amp; H. Mayrhofer which, probably do to their lichenicolous behaviour, show reduced thalli lacking well-developed plicate margins (Knudsen et al. 2013). Furthermore, the genus  Dimelaena exhibits variable apothecial characters, as it includes species with lecanorine or lecideine apothecia and with hyaline or brown hypothecia. Among the ten species currently included in  Dimelaena,  D. australiensis H. Mayrhofer &amp; Sheard,  D. oreina (Ach.) Norman,  D. tenuis (Müll. Arg.) H. Mayrhofer &amp; Wippel,  D. thysanota (Tuck.) Hale &amp; W.L. Culb. and  D. weberi Sheard have a colourless hypothecium. The new species clearly differs from all of these taxa in having much larger ascospores. Concerning the chemistry, among the  Dimelaena taxa mentioned above, only  D. tenuis and  D. thysanota as  D. subsquamulosa also contain gyrophoric acid, however in  D. tenuis this secondary metabolite is usually accompanied or substituted by 5- O -methylhiascic acid (Elix 2011) and in  D. thysanota by sphaerophorin and subsphaeric acid (Mayrhofer &amp; Sheard 2004).</p><p>An additional genus of  Physciaceae with subsquamulose thallus is  Monerolechia (Fr.) Kalb, recently resurrected by Kalb (2004) but not yet fully accepted. However, this monotypic genus clearly differs from  D. subsquamulosa by having lecideine apothecia, a brown hypothecium and  Physcia tenella- type asci (= Lecanoratype) (cf. Marbach 2000, abb 10: 28 and Kalb 2004).</p><p>Additional specimens examined: ― GUATEMALA.

It is the first known species in the genus  Sculptolumina Marbach with 3-septate ascospores.</p><p>Ecology and distribution: ―This species is known from two localities, both situated at an elevation of 2700 m. All collections were from the trunks of  Alnus arguta . In the mixed forest at the type locality,  S. conradiae was very abundant on several rather small trees. Adjacent lichens included  Chrysothrix xanthina (Vain.) Kalb,  Flavoparmelia caperata (L.) Hale,  Hypotrachyna rockii (Zahlbr.) Hale,  Japewiella tavaresiana (H. Magn.) Printzen,  Parmotrema sorediiferum Hale,  Physcia alba (Fée) Müll. Arg.,  P. poncinsii Hue,  Punctelia perreticulata (Räsänen) G. Wilh. &amp; Ladd,  P. subrudecta (Nyl.) Krog and  Thelenella modesta (Nyl.) Nyl. All of these species were recorded previously in van den Boom et al. (2007).</p><p>Notes: ―  Sculptolumina conradiae is characterized by the brownish, granulose to minutely squamulose thallus which lacked secondary metabolites, the lecideine apothecia, ± 0.5 mm diam. with black, epruinose discs, the poorly developed, carbonaceous proper exciple, the hymenium lacking or including only a few oil droplets, the dark brown hypothecium, the Bacidia- type asci and the large, smooth walled, 1–3-septate ascospores with markedly thickened lateral and septal inner walls, resulting in 4 ±rounded lumina (similar to the Conradia- type). Despite the ascospores of  S. conradiae are similar to those of  R. conradii, the additional diagnostic characters of the new species clearly preclude its inclusion in the genus  Rinodina (Ach.) Gray, characterized by lecanorine apothecia, colourless hypothecium and Lecanora- type asci.</p><p>The new species is far better included in the genus  Sculptolumina for the following reasons: 1) the thalline and apothecial characters are consistent with those of  Sculptolumina japonica; 2) among the genera of  Physciaceae segregated from  Buellia s. lat. by Marbach (2000), only  Sculptolumina has ascospores with very pronounced inner wall thickenings at all stages of ontogeny (rinodinoid-ascospores). The genus is also characterized by hymenia inspersed with oil droplets. Although the new species lacks or has only a few oil droplets in the hymenium, this character has proved to be variable in other genera of  Physciaceae (e.g.  Buellia s. str.,  Chrismofulvea Marbach,  Cratiria Marbach,  Endohyalina Marbach emend. Giralt, van den Boom &amp; Elix,  Rinodina and  Stigmatochroma Marbach). Filiform conidia are a further diagnostic feature of  Sculptolumina (Giralt et al. 2009) but, unfortunately, they have not been observed in  S. conradiae .</p><p>Presently, the genus  Sculptolumina includes only two taxa, the type species,  S. japonica and  S. serotina . They differ from  S. conradiae in both their chemistry and ascospores.  S. japonica contains anthraquinones and has  Mischoblastia - type ascospores whereas  S. serotina contains the lobaric acid chemosyndrome and has ascospores similar to those of  S. conradiae but 1-septate, with only two rounded lumina (± Pachysporaria- type) instead of 3- septate, with four rounded lumina. Both grow on bark, lignum or decaying plants, mainly in subtropical to tropical regions and are also present in Guatemala.</p><p>The 3-septate ascospores of  S. conradiae somewhat resemble the tetralocular but 1-septate ascospores of  Orcularia placodiomorpha (Vain.) Kalb &amp; Giralt and  O. placodiomorphoides (Imshaug) Kalb &amp; Giralt (Kalb &amp; Giralt 2011). However, the sequence for the differentiation of the lumina and the canals (isthmus) are clearly different. In the new species immature ascospores are 1-septate with two lumina divided by a septum and not connected by a canal (or isthmus). Later during the ontogeny, with spore maturation, each one of the two lumina differentiates an apical lumen; the apical and central lumina of each cell are connected by a short canal. Finally, a new septum is inserted in this short canal and the ascospores become 3-septate.</p><p>This ontogeny contrast with species of  Orcularia (Malme) Kalb &amp; Giralt, where at one stage of its spore ontogeny each ascospore cell has an apical lumen and both lumina are connected by a long canal. During the ontogeny, this canal differentiates by swelling a central lumen per cell. No septa are inserted between the apical and central lumina of each cell, thus the ascospores remain 1-septate. The immature, colourless, non-septate ascospores of  Orcularia are also different and characteristic of this genus. They have one single lumen ± bone-shaped as the consequence of strong lateral inner wall thickenings which appear before the septum is inserted (Kalb &amp; Giralt 2011). This contrasts with  Sculptolumina where the septum is formed early on.</p><p>The 3-septate ascospores of  Rinodina conradii are also superficially similar but their development follows a type-B ontogeny (the septum is inserted after the apical thickenings become distinct). Consequently, simple, nonseptate ascospores and 1-septate ascospores always show apical thickenings (cf. Mayrhofer et al. 2001).</p><p>Finally, the Callispora - type ascospores with very strong subapical, inner wall thickenings (1-septate with four locules or 3-septate) of some species of  Buellia s. str (=  Hafellia Kalb, H. Mayrhofer &amp; Scheid. in Kalb), e.g.  B. fraudans (Starbäck) Elix,  B. gomerana (Etayo &amp; Marbach) Giralt &amp; van den Boom,  B. pseudotetrapla (Pusswald) Elix and  B. tetrapla (Nyl.) Müll.
