Phyllopsora mediocris Swinscow & Krog

Description.

Swinscow and Krog (1981), Timdal and Krog (2001).

Distribution.

Africa ( Timdal and Krog 2001), Asia.

Remarks.

The species (Fig. 7C) was previously known from East Africa and the Mascarenes ( Timdal and Krog 2001). Although not sequenced, we here report it as new to Asia based on a specimen (Moberg 2750, UPS) from Sri Lanka (Suppl. material 2: Table S1). The species is the phylogenetic sister to P. parvifolia (Fig. 1).
