A synopsis and new key to the species of Rinodina (Ach.) Gray (Physciaceae, lichenized Ascomycetes) presently recognized in North America
Sheard JW. 2018. A synopsis and new key to the species of Rinodina (Ach.) Gray (Physciaceae, lichenized Ascomycetes) presently recognized in North America. Herzogia. 31(1):395-423
One new species, Rinodina incurva, fifteen new North American species records for the genus Rinodina (including nine recently described taxa), and range extensions for 61 species are listed. One species, R. aurantiaca, is reduced to synonymy with R. capensis. A total of 111 species are now recognized for North America of which 36 (32 %) are endemic. Disjunctions of seven species with northeastern Asia are discussed. A new key to all species is provided.
