Description

Cryptothecia eungellae G. Thor

This species was originally described by Thor (1997) from Australia. It is characterized by its firmly attached, shiny thallus which reacts C+ red and the chemistry, i.e. gyrophoric and norstictic acids, both as major substances in our material. Cryptothecia eungellae is a new addition to the Thai lichen biota and a new record for the Northern Hemisphere.

Specimen examined:— THAILAND. Trat Province: Muang District, near Ban Nam Chieo, in a ± disturbed mangrove forest on Rhizophora apiculata, ± 3 m, 12°10’25’’ N, 102°28’37’’ E, 25 February 2011, K. Kalb & P. Mongkolsuk (hb. K. Kalb 38859).
