New species and new records of buellioid lichens (Physciaceae, Ascomycota) from New Zealand and Tasmania

Buellia akatorensis Elix & A.Knight, B. hypopurpurea Elix & A.Knight and B. kantvilasii. Elix, Blanchon & A.Knight are described as new to science. Baculifera micromera (Vain.)Marbach and Buellia stellulata var. tasmanica Elix & Kantvilas are recorded for the first time from New Zealand. This paper continues our investigation of Buellia-like lichens in New Zealand and Tasmania, and follows from the previous accounts of Buellia and related genera (Elix et al. 2015, Elix 2016, Elix & Mayrhofer 2016) and our additions and revisions to Aman-dinea (Blaha, Mayrhofer & Elix 2016, Mayrhofer et al. 2016). In this paper, we deal with a further three new saxicolous species of Buellia in the broad sense. Methods are as described in previous papers cited above
