Printzen C and Tønsberg T. 2003. Four new species and three new apothecial pigments of Biatora. Bibliotheca Lichenologica. 86:133-145
Biatora bacidioides from spruce forests of Eastern Turkey, B. chrysanthoides from spruce forests of the Pacific Northwest of North America and Norway, B. pausiaca from the coastal lowlands of Washington, U.S.A., and B. pontica from Turkey, Eastern North America, Austria, Norway and Slovenia are described as new to science. A revised key to sorediate species of Biatora is presented. Three hitherto uncharacterized pigments from the ascomata of B. pontica and B. pausiaca are described as Pontica-blue, Pontica-red and Pausiaca-green.
