0D45D31F21515CD4B5C94083221A4F46.taxon	description	Description. Thallus crustose, chalk white, ochre to grey, areolate, consisting of discrete convex to bullate areoles (0.25 –) 0.37 – 0.5 mm diam., forming a verruculose to papillose, widespread crust. Medulla white, with crystals. Soredia and isidia absent. Prothallus visible, dark. Photobiont chlorococcoid, cells rounded to irregularly angular, 8 – 16 μm diam. Apothecia rounded, single or clustered in groups of 2 – 3 and becoming confluent, 0.5 – 1.25 (– 2.25) mm diam., base broadly adnate; disc ± flat to strongly convex, black and shiny, becoming cracked when old; margin indistinct. Proper exciple reduced, similar in structure to the hymenium, hyphae radiate, similar to paraphyses. Epihymenium not differentiated as a distinct layer. Hymenium 80 – 150 μm tall, densely inspersed with minute oil droplets, strongly infused with Fucatus-violet pigment, especially in the upper part, sometimes also infused with Cinereorufa-green, K + peacock green. Subhymenium consisting of a thin layer of ascogenous hyphae, 17.5 – 27.5 μm tall, filled like the hymenium with Fucatus-violet pigment but sometimes also infused with Cinereorufa-green. “ thalline cushion ” in section prosoplectenchymatous, variable in thickness, 12.5 – 137.5 μm thick. Hypothecium absent. The amyloid reaction is restricted to the asci and surrounding gel, and does not occur through the whole hymenium. Paraphyses branched and anastomosing, 2 – 4 μm wide, arranged vertically and linked to each other in their lower halves by thin bridges; paraphyses tips not or scarcely expanded. Asci clavate, Biatora - type. Ascospores ovate to broadly ellipsoid, 2 per ascus, beginning colourless and apparently with a single wall, eventually developing a secondary inner wall, which quickly turns brown while still in ascus; outer wall thick, to 4 μm in some cases, the inner brown wall thin, healthy ascospores (38 –) 45.95 ± 6.18 (– 58) × (18 –) 25.65 ± 4.63 (– 33) μm in water, length / width ratio (1.37 –) 1.83 ± 0.29 (– 2.28); n = 20.

9222E499BFF75C2BB6379334EA5A2FB0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The species is characterized by having esorediate, areolate to weakly warted thallus, hymenium heavily pigmented with Fucatus-violet pigment, brownish inner ascospore walls, and its chemistry (atranorin and fumarprotocetraric acid).	en	Zhong, Chun-jiao, Zhao, Zun-tian, Hu, Ling (2025): The phylogeny and taxonomy of Violella (Tephromelataceae, lichenized Ascomycota), including a new species from China.

9222E499BFF75C2BB6379334EA5A2FB0.taxon	description	Description. Thallus crustose, areolate, weakly warted, consisting of discrete flattened to convex areoles (0.18 –) 0.23 – 0.28 mm diam., color grey to pale ocher, with crystals in the medulla. Soredia and isidia absent. Hypothallus not observed. Photobiont chlorococcoid, cells rounded to irregularly angular, (7 –) 8 – 10 (– 12) μm diam. Apothecia rounded to irregular, single or clustered in groups of 2 – 3 and becoming confluent, (0.4 –) 0.8 – 1.75 (– 2) mm diam., base broadly adnate; disc ± flat to weakly convex, jet black and shiny; margin indistinct; “ thalline cushion ” present, visible from above and forming a thin white line at least when young, in section prosoplectenchymatous, variable in thickness, 25 – 100 (– 137.5) μm thick, clearly differentiated from subhymenium above and medulla below. Proper exciple similar in structure to the hymenium, hyphae radiate, similar to paraphyses, filled with Fucatus-violet pigment and often suffused with Cinereorufa-green. Epihymenium not differentiated. Hymenium 125 – 137.5 μm tall, densely inspersed with minute oil droplets; the Fucatus-violet pigment is concentrated at the base and the top of the hymenium and largely diffuse. Subhymenium consisting of a thin layer of ascogenous hyphae, 30 – 32.5 μm tall, filled like the hymenium with Fucatus-violet pigment but sometimes also infused with Cinereorufa-green pigment; differentiated hypothecium absent. Paraphyses branched, anastomosing, 2 – 2.5 μm wide; paraphyses’ tips not or scarcely expanded, 2.5 – 3 μm wide. Asci clavate, inner and outer walls staining blue, tholus strongly I + blue, pierced by a broad, conical non-amyloid structure, thus similar to the Biatora - type. Ascospores ellipsoidal, 2 per ascus (occasionally 1), beginning colourless and apparently with a single wall, eventually developing a secondary inner wall, which quickly turns brown while still in the ascus; outer wall thick, to 3 μm in some cases, the inner brown wall thin, often collapsing, live, healthy ascospores also with brown endospore, (43 –) 50.4 ± 5.37 (– 63) × (23 –) 28.15 ± 3.5 (– 38) μm in water, length / width ratio (1.53 –) 1.8 ± 0.14 (– 2); n = 20.
