Abstract:? Based on the specimens collected from Yunnan Province, the lichen genus Schizotrema Mangold & Lumbsch is reported as new to China, with the species Schizotrema guadeloupense (Hale) Mangold & Lumbsch. Among Graphidaceae, the genus is characterized by its ascomata with concentrically layered margins composed of carbonized excipular remnants of older hymenia; the proper exciple is fused to indistinctly free, periphysoids are usually present, and the ascospores are transversely septate to muriform. The species S. guadeloupense is also new to Asia. In addition, notes of other five species in the genus are also given, with ecology and distribution, and worldwide key to species of Schizotrema is described in the present paper. All these results provide basic data information for the taxonomy of the family Graphidaceae.

The genus Schizotrema Mangold & Lumbsch belonging to Graphidaceae, Ostropales Ostropomycetidae, Lecanoromycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, only comprises six species in thelotremoidGraphidaceae(Kalb, 2009; Mangold et al., 2009; Lumbsch et al., 2010; Rivas Plata et al., 2010, 2012, 2013; Lücking et al., 2016). It was rather recently established to accommodate species with rounded ascomata and a layered margin formed by concentrically arranged remnants of carbonized excipular tissue from older hymenia. In recent years, some small genera of graphidaceae have been reported in China, such as thelotremoid genera Chapsa (Xu & Jia, 2015) and Myriotrema (Xu et al., 2016), and graphioid genera Carbacarthographis (Jia et al., 2017; Liu et al., 2018), Fissurina (Jia et al., 2018) and Leiorreuma (Wang et al., 2015). Based on specimens collected from Yunnan Province, this genus is here newly reported from China, with a single species, Schizotrema guadeloupense.
1Materials and Methods
The specimens are deposited in Fungariuml of the College of Life Sciences, Liaocheng University, China (LCUF). OLYMPUS SZX16 and TECH XTS30D dissecting microscopes, and OLYMPUS BX53 compound microscope were used for the morphological and anatomical studies, and the lichen substances were detected using standardized thin layer chromatography (TLC). These were conducted as described in Jia & Wei (2016).
2Descriptions
Schizotrema Mangold & Lumbsch, in Mangold, Elix & Lumbsch, Fl. Australia 57: 657 (2009).
Type species: Schizotrema zebrinum Mangold.
Thallus corticolous, crustose, pale grey to yellowishgreen, smooth to rough. Photobiont trentepohlioid. Apothecia erumpent to prominent,± rounded,apothecioid but usually with a narrow pore, regenerating with concentrically layered excipula and laterally covered by thalline layer, concolorous with the thallus; excipula more or less carbonized, periphysoids usually present; new hymenia formed from below the previous hymenia; ascospores transversely septate or muriform, nonamyloid.
Chemistry: βorcinol depsidones, or no lichen substances present.
Notes: Schizotrema is characterized by erumpent to prominent, apothecioid ascomata with regenerating hymenia resulting in a ± distinctly layered margin, with an apically free proper exciple that is dark brown to carbonized, a strongly conglutinated hymenium, distinct lateral paraphyses, ascospores transversely septate to muriform, hyaline to yellowish or brownish at late maturity. The genus grows on bark and wood and is found worldwide, with a concentration of species in Australia, mainly in cooltemperate and warmtemperate rainforests, less commonly in subtropical and tropical habitats. Schizotrema is most similar to Topeliopsis Kantvilas & Vězda, but differs in the carbonized excipula. Several other genera of thelotremoid Graphidaceae form lateral paraphyses, viz. Acanthotrema Frisch, Chapsa A. Massal., Melanotopelia Lumbsch & Mangold, Pseudoramonia Kantvilas & Vězda, Schizotrema Mangold & Lumbsch, Thelotrema Ach., and Topeliopsis Kantvilas & Vězda. except for Melanotopelia and Schizotrema, have a noncarbonized excipulum, and Melanotrema differs from Schizotrema in the simple, nonlayered excipulum. Crutarndina Parnmen, Lücking & Lumbsch agrees with Schizotrema in the layered excipulum but only has the apical portion carbonized and both genera are phylogenetically unrelated.

Fig. 1
Thallus partially endoperidermal, pale greyish green to pale olive, dull to glossy, smooth to rough, corticate; cortex 15-20 μm thick; photobiont layer continuous.
Ascomata rounded to somewhat irregular, erumpent, 0.5-0.8 mm diam., regenerating with layered margins. Disc usually hidden by excipular material, pore 0.2-0.4 mm diam., rounded to angular, formed by the apices of the innermost excipular tissue. Proper exciple usually apically free, dark brown to carbonized and usually containing periderm cells. Hymenium 150-200 μm high; periphysoids conspicuous. Epithecium indistinct. Asci 8spored. Ascospores richly muriform, A, B. Thallus (Scales = 1 mm); C. Asci with ascospores (Scale = 50 μm); D, E. Asci with ascospores (Scale = 20 μm).
ellipsoid to fusiform, with rounded to subacute ends, hyaline to brownish at late maturity,nonamyloid,40-70? μm × 15-20 μm, locules rounded to angular; ascospore wall thin, nonhalonate, I-.
Chemistry: Stictic acid (major) and constictic acid (minor).
Notes: Schizotrema guadeloupense is similar to S. schizolomum (Müll. Arg.) Mangold & Lumbsch, but the latter species has larger ascospores (60-180? μm × 20-40 μm) and produces salazinic acid. S. cryptotrema (Nyl.) Rivas Plata & Mangold is also somewhat similar, but differs in the rather cryptic ascomata and the psoromic acid chemistry.
Ecology and Distribution: In China, the species grows on bark, known from tropical primeval forest of Mountain Daweishan in Yunnan Province, Southwest China. Associated lichens include species of Graphis. It was previously reported from the Antilles (Guadeloupe), Argentina, Australia (including Tasmania), and New Zealand (Mangold et al., 2009; Lumbsch et al., 2010), and is new to China and to both continental and tropical Asia.
Specimens examined: China. YunnanGejiu City, Manhao Town, Malongdi, 1 280 m, 23 November 2011, Z. F. Jia 11488, 11493 (LCU).
