A new species and two new records of Strigula (lichenized Ascomycota) from China

Abstract

Strigula has traditionally been circumscribed based on morphology, but species delimitation in the genus generally lacks comprehensive analyses. Molecular approach has now been applied to foliicolous material of the genus from tropical areas in China. On the basis of combined phenotype and genotype, Strigula univelbiserialis is described as a new species and Strigula delicata, S. janeirensis are reported as two new records in China.
