“…The nuclear ribosomal RNA gene region including the internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 and the 5.8S subunit (ITS) was amplified using the primers ITS1F (Gardes and Bruns 1993) and ITS4 (White et al 1990), the 28S nrLSU using the primer LR5 (Vilgalys and Hester 1990), and the 12S mtSSU using the primers mtSSU1-mtSSU3R and mtSSU2R (Fedorenko et al 2009(Fedorenko et al , 2012.

Phyllopsora swinscowii Timdal et Krog). The combination Biatora longispora (Degel.) Lendemer et Printzen is validated here. The new names Biatora vezdana for Lecania furfuracea Vĕzda and Coppinsidea vainioana for Lecidea sphaeroidiza Vain. are proposed. The phenomenon of presence of 'extraneous mycobiont DNA' in lichen association, i.e. DNA, belonging neither to mycobiont nor photobiont or to endophytic fungi is for the first time illustrated. So the presence of nrITS and mtSSU sequences of crustose lichen Coppinsidea ropalosporoides in thalli of crustose Verrucaria margacea and foliose Kashiwadia orientalis, as well as nrITS of Phyllopsora sp. KoLRI in Agonimia pacifica and Biatora longi spora, or nrITS and mtSSU of Biatora longispora in thalli of Agonimia pacifica, Oxneriopsis oxneri and Pyxine limbulata, Ivanpisutia oxneri in thalli of Rinodina xanthophaea, etc. is documented. Scarce cases of presence of 'extraneous mycobiont DNA' in representatives of the Teloschistaceae, Physciaceae known from literature data are discussed, too.

“…In recent years the advanced use of molecular characters has resulted in major taxonomic changes in the Teloschistaceae and resulted in the segregation of the family into four subfamilies -Brownlielloideae, Caloplacoideae, Teloschistoideae, and Xanthorioideae (Arup et al 2013, Gaya et al 2012, Kondratyuk et al 2015d. Based on a study of three-gene phylogeny (nrITS1/ITS2, 28S nrLSU, and 12S mtSSU), the number of genera recognised then increased from 10 to 39 (Arup et al 2013, Kärnefelt 1989) and presently to 108 (Arup et al 2013, Fedorenko et al 2012, Kondratyuk et al 2013a, b, c, 2015a, b, c, e, 2016, 2017a, 2018a, b, c, 2019b, 2020b, Søchting et al 2014a. Genera of the four subfamilies of the Teloschistaceae hitherto confirmed by three-gene phylogeny are listed in Table 1.…”

“…Ecology and distribution: It is widely distributed in warm subtropical to temperate regions of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Genus Upretia is so far known only from India and is represented by two species (Kondratyuk et al 2018a), while it may include more members from the Himalayan region. Caloplaca cupreorufa Zahlbr., known from China (Zahlbruckner 1930), and C. cupreobrunnea Poelt et Hinter., known from Nepal (Poelt and Hinteregger 1993), may belong to Upretia after having distinctly The genus Xanthoria has a diversity between 6 and 12 species in the world (Arup et al 2013, Kondratyuk et al 2013b, 2017a.…”

The present study recorded 36 genera and 115 species of the lichen family Teloschistaceae in India. Three species, i.e. Caloplaca rajasthanica S. Y. Kondr., Upreti et G. P. Sinha, Huriella upre- tiana S. Y. Kondr., G. K. Mishra, Nayaka et A. Thell, and Squamulea uttarkashiana S. Y. Kondr., Upreti, Nayaka et A. Thell, are described as new species. Seven new combinations, i.e. Fulgo- gasparrea awasthii (Y. Joshi et Upreti) S. Y. Kondr., Upreti et A. Thell, Neobrownliella cinnabarina (Ach.) S. Y. Kondr., Upreti et A. Thell, Neobrownliella holochracea (Nyl.) S. Y. Kondr., Upreti et A. Thell, Opeltia flavorubescens (Huds.) S. Y. Kondr. et J.-S. Hur, Oxneriopsis bassiae (Willd. ex Ach.) S. Y. Kondr., Upreti et J.-S. Hur, Upretia hueana (B. de Lesd.) S. Y. Kondr. et Upreti and Megaspora subpoliotera (Y. Joshi et Upreti) S. Y. Kondr., Upreti et A. Thell, are proposed based on nrITS phylogeny in the Teloschistaceae and Megasporaceae consequently. Validation of combination Olegblumia demissa is provided. Molecular data on Fulgogasparrea awasthii andMegaspora subpoliotera are recorded from India for the first time. Four new genera including one species each, i.e. Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis (Oxner, S. Y. Kondr. et Elix) S. Y. Kondr., L. őkö et J.-S. Hur, Mikhtomia gordejevii (Tomin) S. Y. Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A. Thell, J. Kim, A. S. Kondratiuk et J.-S. Hur, Olegblumia demissa (Flot.) S. Y. Kondr., L. őkö, J. Kim, A. S. Kond- ratiuk, S.-O. Oh et J.-S. Hur and Pachypeltis intrudens (H. Magn.) Sochting Froden et Arup, as well as the genus Megaspora are reported as new for the Indian lichen biota.Out of the eight lichenogeographical regions of India, the Western Himalayas show the maximum diversity of Teloschistaceae members represented with 110 species followed by the Central Indian region with 38 species. The lichen genus Caloplaca is represented with 50 species in the country followed by Athallia and Rusavskia with 6 species each. The saxi- colous taxa exhibit dominance with 65 species whereas the corticolous and terricolous taxa are represented by 48 and 9 species, respectively. Among the different states of India, Ut- tarakhand showed the maximum diversity represented by 54 species followed by the state of Jammu & Kashmir with 37 species, whereas the Jharkhand and Meghalaya states are represented only by the occurrence of a single species each. A key to the genera and species together with the description, basionyms and synonyms of each species are provided.

Caloplaca tephromelae Kantvilas, Suija & Motiej., a lichenicolous species growing on saxicolous thalli of species of Tephromela, is described from Tasmania. The new species is characterized by lecanorine to zeorine apothecia with a whitish grey thalline margin devoid of anthraquinone pigments, a non-inspersed hymenium, paraphyses without oil vacuoles and ascospores 10–14 × 5–8 μm, with a septum 5–8 μm thick. It is compared with selected taxa of Caloplaca s. lat. that share these salient features. Molecular data support the distinctiveness of the new species but do not suggest any obvious close relatives.
