Aspicilia fauriana Hue (1910: 95)

Type (lectotype, designated here):— KOREA. Hpyeng-yang, June 1901, R. P. Faurie 4508 ( LE L-7525!, isolectotype BM 001107805 [digital photograph!]).

Aspicilia fauriana is described from the northern part of the Korean peninsula (now Pyongyang). It is represented by a small thallus that resembles the specimen of Aspicilia dimorphodes but has no enlarged areolae ( Fig. 1D ). It has spores which exceed 20 μm, short conidia (8−12 μm) and norstictic acid as a secondary metabolite. In relation to overall morphology, secondary chemistry as well as measurements of ascospores and conidia, this species agrees well with circumscription of Aspicilia intermutans , which is reported as new to Korea.
