Type :— BRAZIL . Rio de Janeiro , ad corticem arborum, 1885, E . A . Vainio (TUR-V. 27730!, lectotype , here designated) . Fig. 3F . Thallus corticolous, rarely also saxicolous, whitish, grayish white or greenish gray, continuous, smooth, slightly glossy. Lirellae immersed to erumpent, with a lateral thalline margin, elongate or stellately branched, labia convergent (a few may be partly divergent, exposing the white pruinose disc), entire, white pruinose, at least along the slit, disc usually not visible from above ( caesiella -morph). Exciple laterally carbonized; hymenium clear; ascospores 8/ascus, hyaline, halonate, transversely (5–) 7–9-septate, 20–34 × 6–9 μm, 7–9-septate, 20–30 × 7–10 μm (protologue), 5–9-septate, 20–40 × 6–8 μm ( holotype , Lücking et al. 2009 ), 7–10-septate, 25–35 × 6–8 μm (Archer 2009). Chemistry: norstictic acid (major), connorstictic acid (major to minor), ± subnorstictic acid (minor) (anal. J . Sutjaritturakan). Distribution and habitat :—Pantropical, known from the U.S.A. in Louisiana (S. H. Tucker 28131), Florida ( Harris 1995 , Lücking et al. 2011 ), French Guiana (H. Sipman: Lichenotheca Latinoamericana No. 126), Netherlands Antilles ( Aptroot & Sparrius 2008 –present), Cuba ( Rivas Plata et al. 2013 ), Costa Rica (Archer 2009), Singapore , Taiwan ( Aptroot & Sparrius 2008 –present), Fiji ( Rivas Plata et al. 2013 ), Seychelles , Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island , Vanatu and Australia (Archer 2099); it is common in Thailand from the North to the South. Graphis caesiella is growing in ± open situations in various forest types (evergreen forest, dry Dipterocarp forest, secondary forest) and in plantations on bark of trees ( Acrocarpus fraxinifolius , Azadirachta excelsa , Durio zibethinus , Garcinia mangostana , Hevea brasiliensis , Terminalia ivorensis ) from 20– 480 m . Remarks :—TUR-V. 27730 is one sample of E. A.Vainio: Lichenes Brasilienses exsiccati 45 (1892), which was not only distributed to TUR, but also to FH and PC ( Alava 1988 ). Wirth & Hale (1963: 113) called the specimen in TUR a holotype , but they should have selected a lectotype instead, since Vainio did not specify the TUR specimen as type. Although this species is mentioned in the recent checklist for Thai lichens ( Buaruang et al. 2017 ), with a reference to Pitakpong et al. (2015) , the three specimens used in that phylogenetic analysis are not from Thailand , but from Cuba (Berger 17247) and Fiji (Lumbsch 20540i and 20530a) ( Rivas Plata et al. 2013 ). So our collections are the first, mentioned fromThailand.
