Sporodophoron primorskiense (Arthoniaceae, lichenized Ascomycota) new to Japan, as the second locality in the world

Abstract

Sporodophoron primorskiense is reported as new to Japan, as the second locality in the world. This species was previously only known from Primorsky territory in Russia. In Japan it was found on bark of Fagus crenata at ca. 1000 m elev. in an old-growth forest in Toyama Prefecture. This locality is situated at the Japanese side of the Sea of Japan opposite from Primorsky territory. The Japanese specimen agrees well with the type of S. primorskiense in terms of morphology and chemistry. Sequence data of mtSSU support conspecificity with the type. A key to Japanese Arthoniaceae with sporodochia or elevated, white pruinose pycnidia is also provided.
