Bagliettoa perseae (A–F) and its distribution in Persepolis, WHS and adjacent areas in south-western Iran (G & H). A, indentations of true endolithic thallus surface in the central part of the thallus with some empty bio-pitts. B, Pigmented area surrounding the ostiolar opening after the perithecium has detached. C, Photobiont layer containing algal cells, in clusters (25-40 mm in diam.). D, Ostiole, the apex of perithecium with light magenta pigment. E & F, ascospore shape and asci shape with hymenium. G, location of the Persepolis UNESCO World Heritage Site and distribution of Bagliettoa perseae in the area, with the holotype locality indicated with a Rectangle shape. The Square is the location of the historic site. H, the green area indicates the main distribution range of B. perseae within the historic site of Persepolis, based on our direct observations of approximately 10–20 lichen thalli occurring on different stone surfaces in the area. Scales: A = 1 cm; B= 0.5 mm., C=10 μm., D=0.5 mm, E & F = 10 μm.	FIGURE 2. Bagliettoa perseae (A–F) and its distribution in Persepolis, WHS and adjacent areas in south-western Iran (G & H).

Phylogenetic tree resulting from Bayesian inference, based on a combined dataset of three genes (mcm7, ITS, and mtSSU) and 102 taxa. Bootstrap support values (BS) and Bayesian posterior probabilities (PP) are displayed above the branches. Bayesian posterior probabilities range from 0 to 1.0; however, for visual clarity, they are presented as percentages (0-100) on the figure. Only values exceeding 70% BS and 95% PP (0.95) are shown. Parabagliettoa was designated as the outgroup.	FIGURE 1. Phylogenetic tree resulting from Bayesian inference, based on a combined dataset of three genes (mcm7, ITS, and mtSSU) and 102 taxa.
