Phyllopsora loekoesii S.Y. Kondr., E. Farkas, S.-O. Oh & Hur

Description.

Kondratyuk et al. (2016).

Distribution.

Asia.

Remarks.

The species (Fig. 7A) was recently described from South Korea by Kondratyuk et al. (2016), and we report it as new to Japan and Nepal. Our sequences were compared to unpublished sequences of the holo- and isotype kindly provided to us by Sergey Kondratyuk. Our accessions form a strongly supported clade together with accessions of P. confusa (Fig. 1), from which it is difficult to distinguish. See also remarks for P. confusa .
