Athallia View in CoL View at ENA

Five species recorded in the region. All have strongly reduced, usually indistinct thallus with apothecia and without vegetative diaspores. Four species are predominantly epiphytic but one species is typically epilithic. Literature: Arup (2009), Arup et al. (2013), Vondrák et al. (2012a, 2016b).

Athallia cerinelloides : 8 localities at altitudes 500–1530 m. Most records in the humid non-alpine class. Substrate: bark on trunks of Larix , Populus and Salix . (Commonly recorded on twigs, but no such records from the region.)

Athallia holocarpa : 13 localities at altitudes 400–2250 m. In all ecological classes, except for arid alpine. Substrate: siliceous rocks, boulders, pebbles (sandstone, schist, granite, etc.).

Athallia pyracea : 15 localities at altitudes 140–1200 m. In humid non-alpine and arid non-alpine classes. Substrate: bark on trunks of Larix , Picea , Pinus , Populus , single specimen on limestone (Vondrák 18039).

Athallia saxifragarum : 5 localities at altitudes 2050–2900 m. In humid alpine and arid alpine classes. Substrate: bryophytes and plant debris in alpine habitats.

Athallia sp. , Fig. 5A View FIGURE 5 : Recorded in a single locality in the arid alpine steppe, at altitude 2350 m, on twigs of Lonicera (specimens Frolov 1599, Vondrák 18073). Phenotype is similar to A. cerinelloides or A. saxifragarum , but the ITS sequence (MG954143) is more similar to sequences of A. alnetorum (96–97% similarity) or A. holocarpa and A. cerinella (94–96%).
