A New Lichenized Fungus, Lendemeriella luteoaurantia, with a Key to the Species of Lendemeriella

Lendemeriella luteoaurantia B.G. Lee is described as a new lichen species from South Korea. The identified by smaller, yellow-orange apothecia, larger ascospores with wider septum width, and the absence of Cinereorufa-green pigment teloschistin, different closest species, L. aureopruinosa I.V. Frolov, Vondrák, Arup, Konoreva, S. Chesnokov, Yakovczenko Davydov in morphology chemistry. Molecular phylogeny employing internal transcribed spacer (nuITS), nuclear large subunit ribosomal RNA (nuLSU), mitochondrial small (mtSSU) sequences strongly supports nonidentical genus Lendemeriella.
