Abstract

In a continuation of our biotic inventory of lichenized fungi in Costa Rica and adjacent areas, we present a treatment of the thelotremoid Graphidaceae, that is the genera and species formerly included in Thelotremataceae. A total of 186 species in 23 genera are reported for Costa Rica, plus an additional 30 taxa for adjacent areas (El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama) that are expected to occur in Costa Rica. This is the highest number of thelotremoid Graphidaceae reported for any country in the world thus far, followed by Australia (173 species), Sri Lanka (130 species), and Panama (110 species). Together with our previous treatment of the genus Graphis, a total of 293 species of Graphidaceae have now been reported for Costa Rica in revised monographic works, with revisions of larger genera such as Phaeographis still pending, suggesting that the total number of Graphidaceae in Costa Rica is over 400. In the present monograph, the following genus and 40 species taxa are described as new to science: Enigmotrema Lucking gen. nov., Acanthotrema bicellularis Sipman & Lucking, spec. nov., A. kalbii Lucking, spec. nov., Chapsa defecta Lucking, spec. nov., C. defectosorediata Lucking, spec. nov., C. farinosa Lucking & Sipman, spec. nov., C. perdissuta Sipman & Lucking, spec. nov., C. sublilacina var. cyanea Lucking, spec. nov., C. thallotrema Lucking & N. Salazar, spec. nov., Clandestinotrema analorenae Lucking, spec. nov., Enigmotrema rubrum Lucking, spec. nov., Gyrotrema aurantiacum Sipman, Lucking & Chaves, spec. nov., G. papillatum Lucking, spec. nov., Leucodecton album Sipman & Lucking, spec. nov., Myriotrema aggregans Sipman & Lucking, spec. nov., M. clandestinoides Sipman & Lucking, spec. nov., M. classicum Lucking, spec. nov., M. endoflavescens Hale ex Lucking, spec. nov., M. frondosolucens Lucking & Aptroot, spec. nov., Ocellularia albobullata Lucking, Sipman & Grube, spec. nov., O. cocosensis Lucking & Chaves, spec. nov., O. flavoperforata Lucking, spec. nov., O. gerardii Sipman, spec. nov., O. globifera Kalb & Lucking, spec. nov., O. inspersata Kalb & Lucking, spec. nov., O. inspersula Lucking & Aptroot, spec. nov., O. isohypocrellina Lucking & Kalb, spec. nov., O. laevigatula Kalb & Lucking, spec. nov., O. laeviusculoides Sipman & Lucking, spec. nov., O. praestantoides Sipman, spec. nov., O. pseudopyrenuloides Lucking, spec. nov., O. psorbarroensis Sipman, spec. nov., O. subcarassensis Sipman & Lucking, spec. nov., O. subpyrenuloides Lucking, spec. nov., O. supergracilis Kalb & Lucking, spec. nov., O. terrabensis Kalb & Lucking, spec. nov., O. zamorana Sipman, Lucking & Chaves, spec. nov., Thelotrema gomezianum Lucking, spec. nov., T. submyriocarpum Lucking, spec. nov., T. wilsonii Sipman & Lucking, spec. nov., and Wirthiotrema duplomarginatum Lucking, Mangold & Lumbsch, spec. nov.
