The nucleotide comparison revealed a difference of 3.95 % (19 / 486 bp) for ITS and 0.98 % (6 / 611 bp) for mtSSU. Morphologically, C. assateaguensis differs by possessing soredia and lacking apothecia, whereas the new species lacks soredia and has apothecia. Chemically, C. assateaguensis contains only 2 ’ - O-methylperlatolic acid, while the new species additionally contains perlatolic acid and an unknown lichen substance (Lendemer 2013).</p><p>Among the four species of Chicitaea, C. lecanoriformis is the only taxon with apothecia (Table 2). However, it differs from the new species by producing pycnidia (absent in the new species) and slight genetic divergence in the mtSSU region (0.81 %; 5 / 611 bp). According to lichen substances, both species contain 2 ’ - O-methylperlatolic acid and perlatolic acid, whereas the new species contains an unknown lichen substance (Lumbsch et al. 2007). Different from C. confusa, which has granulose isidia, the new species lacks this feature. Nucleotide comparisons revealed differences of 3.49 % (17 / 486 bp) in the ITS region and 0.65 % (6 / 611 bp) in the mtSSU region between the two species. The new species contains perlatolic acid, 2 ’ - O-methylperlatolic acid and an unknown lichen substance, in contrast to C. confusa, which produces only 2 ’ - O-methylperlatolic acid (Lendemer 2013). These combined morphological, chemical, and molecular differences support the recognition of Chicitaea yueliangshanensis as a distinct species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CF82357277BA5282B1E2CA897FF55DF4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

No. CS 78 (holotype, KUN-L 97467) .</p><p>Notes.</p><p>The phylogenetic analysis of mtSSU sequence data reveals that Coniocarpon chishuiense is closely related to C. cinnabarinum, C. cuspidans in and C. fallax . The nucleotide comparison differences between C. chishuiense and C. cinnabarinum, showed differences of 1.47 % (11 / 747 bp) for mtSSU. Morphologically, the new species differs by epruinose disc (vs. reddish or white pruina in C. cinnabarinum). In addition, the asexual moprh (pycnidia and conidia) is absent in new species but present in C. cinnabarinum . Chemically, C. chishuiense contains both psoromic acid and an unidentified lichen substance, while C. cinnabarinum contains only psoromic acid (Nash et al. 2004; Frisch et al. 2020).</p><p>There were 2.00 % differences (15 / 747 bp) in sequences of mtSSU between Coniocarpon chishuiense and C. cuspidans in. Additional differences include the larger ascospores in the new species (21.5–26.5 × 7.5–9.0 μm vs. 16–18 × 7–8 µm in C. cuspidans) and the presence of psoromic acid and an unknown lichen substance in C. chishuiense but not in C. cuspidans (Frisch et al. 2020) . C. chishuiense can be distinguished from C. fallax by its epruinose disc (vs. orange-red pruina in C. fallax) and larger ascospores (21.5–26.5 µm vs. 17–20 μm). Furthermore, C. chishuiense contains psoromic acid and an unknown lichen substance, both absent in C. fallax . Nucleotide comparison is also considerable, with differences of 3.61 % (27 / 747 bp) in mtSSU (Frisch et al. 2020).</p><p>In addition to the above three species, the new species, Coniocarpon chishuiense, shares similar morphology with Coniocarpon carneoumbrinum (Zahlbruckner) Van den Broeck &amp; Ertz, Coniocarpon rubrocinctum (G. Merr. ex Grube &amp; Lendemer) Perlmutter, R. Miranda &amp; Bungartz and Coniocarpon tuckermanianum (Willey) Van den Broeck &amp; Ertz in size of ascospores (Table 4). However, all three of these species have a pruinose disc, whereas our species lacks pruina. A distinct contrast is observed in thallus coloration among the three species C. carneoumbrinum, C. tuckermanianum and C. chishuiense: gray vs. white vs. olive. Besides, Coniocarpon rubrocinctum contain only psoromic acid, while C. chishuiense contains an unknown lichen substance except for psoromic acid. Based on the descriptions of thallus and apothecial color, the new species is distinct from all known species.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CE920A83D7A555DEBE86A52CB023290A	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Excluding gaps, no nucleotide difference was detected in the mtSSU (770 bp) region between our collection and reference specimens. Morphologically, this specimen agrees well with the description of S. inconspicua by Broeck et al. (2018), particularly in the presence of white pruina on the disc and in the size of ascospores (17.5–20.0 × 6.0–6.5 μm vs. 16.5–21.3 × 6.2–7.7 μm) (Broeck et al. 2018). Therefore, we identify this collection as Synarthonia inconspicua . This represents the first record of this species in Guizhou, China.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1D794733CE4B5CBEBD70F27DA2C995AC	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
