Data from: Phylogeny and taxonomy of an enigmatic sterile lichen
Crustose, asexually reproducing taxa represent a large component of lichen biodiversity that is often overlooked and underestimated; as a result, remarkable potential remains for discovery of new species in this neglected, polyphyletic group. For this study, ITS and mtSSU rDNA sequences were analyzed in conjunction with chemical and anatomical data to understand the systematic placement of an enigmatic, sterile lichen. This species, despite references in the literature, and being known for over half a decade, has remained undescribed due to our inability to integrate it into a higher-level taxonomic framework using morphology alone. Here we demonstrate the utility of a systematic methodology that combines molecular and non-molecular characters to place and circumscribe species of asexually reproducing lichens that are typically sterile. Based on our analyses, the new species, Caloplaca reptans, shows phylogenetic and morphological affinities to a broad group of Caloplaca species with gray thalli, including the type species of the genus, C. cerina. This study highlights that the family Teloschistaceae is morphologically more diverse than previously understood, and contains elements that cannot easily be placed in known 'species groups.'

A, central part of thallus (holotype); B, edge of thallus with prothallus (Kukwa 13404); C edge of thallus with episubstratal areoles and soralia (Malíček 7517); delimited and fusing soralia in the center of the thallus (Malíček 7517). Scale: A–D—0.5 mm.
FIGURE 1 in Lecanora stanislai, a new, sterile, usnic acid containing lichen species from Eurasia and North America
FIGURE 1. Bayesian tree based on ITS rDNA data from Lecanora spp. Palicella glaucopa is the outgroup. Posterior probabilities ≥0.80 (first value), and bootstrap supports ≥70 for MP (second value) and ML (third value) methods are indicated near the branches. Names of the species are given with their GenBank Accession Numbers apart from newly sequenced specimens of Lecanora spp. that are in bold and for which the names are preceded by their herbarium collection numbers. Lecanora stanislai sp. nov. is shaded in grey. Lecanora strobilina marked with asterisk probably represents L. compallens.
