Elix (2006 , 2009 ). Distribution. Africa ( Kistenich et al. in press ), Asia, Australia ( Elix 2009 ). Remarks. This originally Australian species is reported as new to Africa (Kenya) by Kistenich et al. (in press) and here as new to Asia (Sri Lanka; Fig. 8A). Both the African and Sri Lankan specimens were sequenced (mtSSU and ITS) and found to conform with sequences of an isotype (O L-1319). The species is generally identified by the squamulose, lacinulate thallus containing furfuraceic acid. Figure 8. Species of Phyllopsora occurring in Asia and Melanesia.
