Gintarasia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae.[1] It has seven species, all of which are found in Australia. Gintarasia species are corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichens with a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] form.
Taxonomy
Gintarasia was formally proposed as a new genus in 2013 by Ekaphan Kraichak, Robert Lücking, and Helge Thorsten Lumbsch. Within the family Graphidaceae, it is classified in the subfamily Graphidoidae, and tribe Thelotremateae. The genus is named in honour of Gintaras Kantvilas, a Tasmanian lichenologist who has made significant contributions to the study of lichenology in Australia, particularly in Tasmania, including the taxonomy of Tasmanian [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] Graphidaceae.[2]
Description
The genus is characterized by a greyish-green to olive-green thallus covered by a [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] or [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]; large [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] ascomata with exposed [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] and thick [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]s; a fused, hyaline to yellowish [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] with lateral [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]; a non-[[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] hymenium; hyaline, non-amyloid or amyloid [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]; and the presence of depsidones of the protocetraric or stictic acid [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]].[2]
