Twelve New Species Reveal Cryptic Diversification in Foliicolous Lichens of s.lat. (, ).

We employed a molecular phylogenetic approach using five markers (ITS, nuSSU, nuLSU, TEF1-α, and RPB2) to assess potential cryptic speciation in foliicolous members of s.lat. (), including the recently segregated genera , , , , and , from tropical areas in Asia, with selected materials from the Neotropics as reference.
