Abstract

The new lichen genus Orcularia, based on Rinodina sect. Orcularia, is described. It is characterized by Orcularia-type ascospores and filiform conidia. So far the newly described O. elixii as well as O. insperata (type species), O. placodiomorpha and O. placodiomorphoides are found to belong to this genus. Descriptions, illustrations and a key for them are provided.
