Two new lichenized species and a new record from Guizhou, China.

ABSTRACT: Two new lichenized species, Chicitaea yueliangshanensis and Coniocarpon chishuiense are described through the combination of morphological characteristics, chemical profiling and phylogenetic analyses, along with a new geographical record of Synarthonia inconspicua, collected from Guizhou, China. Chicitaea yueliangshanensis is characterized by prominent lecanorine apothecia with a black, epruinose, ± flat disc and lacking isidia and soredia. This species contains perlatolic acid, 2'-O-methylperlatolic acid and an unidentified lichen substance. It forms a well-supported singleton based on both ML and Bayesian analyses in the phylogenetic tree. Another new species, Coniocarpon chishuiense is distinguished by irregularly rounded to elliptical ascomata with e
