Caloplaca saviczii is a species of crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. Found in the Russian Far East, it was formally described as a new species in 2021 by Ivan Frolov, Dmitry Himelbrant, Irina Stepanchikova, Liudmila Konoreva, and Sergey Chesnokov. The type specimen was collected in the fluvial valley of River Katal'yanayvayam (Penzhinsky District, Kamchatka); here, in a floodplain forest, it was found growing on the bark of Populus suaveolens . The specific epithet saviczii honours Russian lichenologist Vsevolod Pavlovich Savich (1885–1972), who studied the lichens of Kamchatka. [1]

<i>Ikaeria</i> Genus of fungi

Ikaeria is a genus of two species of crustose lichens in the family Teloschistaceae. Both species grow on twig bark of shrubs and trees. It was circumscribed in 2017 by lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk, Dalip Kumar Upreti, and Jae-Seoun Hur, with Ikaeria aurantiellina assigned as the type species. This lichen was previously placed in the genus Caloplaca, but molecular phylogenetic analysis showed that it belonged in a lineage that was genetically distinct from that genus. Ikaeria serusiauxii was added to the genus in 2020.

<i>Ikaeria serusiauxii</i> Species of lichen

Ikaeria serusiauxii is a species of crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It is found in the Madeira Archipelago and Canary Islands (Macaronesia), as well as in coastal regions of Algarve and Estremadura in mainland Portugal, where it grows on twigs and branches of trees and shrubs. It was described as a new species in 2020 by lichenologist Harrie Sipman. The type specimen was found on Porto Santo Island, on the lower slopes of Pico do Facho, at an altitude of about 350 m (1,150 ft). Here it was growing on fallen pine trees. The specific epithet honours Belgian lichenologist Emmanuël Sérusiaux, "who contributed significantly to the exploration of the lichen diversity of Macaronesia".

Found in Australia, it was formally described as a new species in 2010 by lichenologists John Alan Elix, Sergey Kondratyuk, and Ingvar Kärnefelt. The type specimen was collected by Elix in Western Australia's Wallaby Hills Nature Reserve, for which the species is named. Here it was found growing on an old termite mound in Eucalyptus salmonophloia woodland with Xanthorrhoea shrubs and laterite rocks. It is known only from the type locality, where it is common.

Lendemeriella aureopruinosa is a species of crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. Found in the Russian Far East, it was formally described as a new species in 2021 by Ivan Frolov, Jan Vondrák, Ulf Arup, Liudmila Konoreva, and Sergey Chesnokov, Lidia Yakovchenko, and Evgeny Davydov. The type specimen was collected on the banks of River Bes-Yuryakh ; here it was found growing on siliceous outcrops in a forest comprising largely birch, alder, and larch trees. The thallus of the lichen ranges in form from an inconspicuous grey film to a more well-developed crust or areoles. Its apothecia measure 0.3–0.6 mm in diameter and have a dark-orange to brick-red coloured disc. Secondary chemicals detected in the lichen include parietin, parietinic acid, emodin, teloschistin, and fallacinal.

The genus was circumscribed in 2015 by lichenologists Sergey Kondratyuk, Jack Elix, Ingvar Kärnefelt, and Arne Thell, with Neobrownliella brownlieae assigned as the type species. It is a segregate of the large genus Caloplaca. Characteristics of Neobrownliella include a thallus that is continuous or areolate, the presence of anthraquinones as lichen products, a cortical layer with a palisade paraplectenchyma, and the lack of a thick palisade cortical layer on the underside of the thalline exciple. Two species were included in the original circumscription of the genus; an additional three species were added in 2020.
