Caceres & Lucking 2018	<div><p>Flabelloporina Sobreira, M. Cáceres &amp; Lücking gen. nov</p> <p>Mycobank: MB 826736</p> <p>A genus in the family Porinaceae characterized by a thallus bearing flabelliform squamules, black, exposed perithecia not covered thallus, and transversely septate ascospores.</p> <p>Type: — Flabelloporina squamulifera (Breuss, Lücking &amp; E. Navarro) Sobreira, M. Cáceres &amp; Lücking (holotype).</p> <p>Etymology: —The name of the genus refers to the flabelliform squamules formed on the thallus.</p> <p>Description: —Thallus corticolous, crustose, with shiny dark prothallus, bearing numerous, flabelliform squamules (Fig. 2A–B); photobiont Trentepohlia. Ascomata rare, developed on the crustose portions of the thallus, perithecioid, single, not covered by the thallus, hemispherical, black. Hamathecium composed of unbranched paraphyses. Asci unitunicate, 8-spored. Ascospores hyaline, transversely septate. Pycnidia not observed. Chemistry: perithecial wall K+ violet.</p> <p>Discussion: — Porina squamulifera, introduced by Lücking et al. (2013), was included in Porina s.lat. because of the then unresolved taxonomy of the Porinaceae. Although the species demonstrates similarity with the genera Pseudosagedia and Trichothelium, due to the black perithecial wall reacting violet after treatment with KOH (Hafellner and Kalb 1995), molecular phylogeny clearly separates these genera from each other and from P. squamulifera. The new genus is otherwise distinguished from all other Porinaceae by the squamule-bearing thallus. Besides this unique morphology, thallus color in combination with a dark, shiny prothallus are reminescent of unrelated species in the P. eminentior (Nyl.) McCarthy (2000: 42) clade (Clathroporina) and the P. alba (R. Sant.) Lücking (2004: 412) clade (Phyllophiale), Trichothelium horridulum (Müll. Arg.) Santesson (1952: 222), and Zamenhofia. The latter features black perithecia and produce cylindrical isidia; it has not yet been sequenced, but its perithecial chemistry differs from that found in Flabelloporina and other lineages with black perithecia (Clauzade &amp; Roux 1985; Tretiach 2014). The black, hemispherical perithecia, together with the 3-septate ascospores, are reminescent of several species of Porina s.lat., such as P. tetralocularis Aptroot in Aptroot &amp; Sipman (1993: 39) and P. thaxteri Santesson (1952: 218). All these from crustose thalli and are likely unrelated to the new genus; we predict that they belong in the genera Pseudosagedia and Trichothelium, respectively.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A2EC25F16BFFE7FF5BFF3903F7F97F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Lücking et al. 39729 (B, ISE).</p> <p>Discussion: — Flabelloporina squamulifera is characterized by its thallus bearing numerous squamules and the black, exposed perithecia. Originally discovered in Costa Rica (Lücking et al. 2013), this is the first reported occurrence of the species in Brazil, considerably extending its range and suggesting its potential presence in wet forests across the Neotropics. This corticolous species is typically found in the understory of humid tropical rainforests. In Brazil, it was found covering almost the entire surface of the trunk of a single tree at Santa Lúcia Biological Station in Espírito Santo state, but was not detected on any other tree in this location.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03A2EC25F16BFFE4FF5BF96D012FFE1E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
