AI Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on two genera of crustose lichens in tropical to subtropical forests in Southern China, emphasizing the lack of prior research in this area.
- Five species are identified, including three new species and two new records, supported by morphological and molecular phylogenetic methods.

Article Abstract
and are important elements of crustose lichen communities in tropical to subtropical forests, but little research has been done on these two genera in China. Morphological and molecular phylogenetic approaches to investigate species diversity of and from Southern China were carried out in this study. We find five species of and in our study, including three new species (, and ) and two new records ( and ). In addition, a phylogenetic tree based on mtSSU, RPB2 and nLSU illustrates the placement of the five species and supports the delimitation of the three new taxa. Detailed descriptions of morphological, ecological and chemical characteristics and illustrations are provided for every species. A key to all known Chinese and species is also provided.
