| dc.description.abstract | A number of lichen-forming fungal species are widely distributed. Here, we investigate biogeographic
patterns in a widely distributed isidiate taxon –Parmelinella wallichiana – using molecular sequence data.
Our results revealed that Parmelinella wallichina, as currently circumscribed, is not monophyletic but falls
into four clades, two of them represented by a sample only. A third clade, occurring in Africa and southern
India is described as a new species, Parmelinella schimperiana Kirika & Divakar, sp. nov. Our study adds
a further example of previously overlooked, geographically distinct, lineages that were discovered using
molecular data | en_US |
