New collections of six Squamarina species from type localities in China were studied. The comparison
of morphological characteristics and secondary metabolites with those of the type specimens and
phylogenetic analyses suggest that S. callichroa and S. pachyphylla belong to Rhizoplaca, S. semisterilis
belongs to Lobothallia and S. chondroderma should be retained in Lecanora temporarily. Only two species,
S. kansuensis and S. oleosa, remain in Squamarina. The new combinations Lobothallia semisterilis
(H. Magn.) Y. Y. Zhang, Rhizoplaca callichroa (Zahlbr.) Y. Y. Zhang and R. pachyphylla (H. Magn.) Y.
Y. Zhang are proposed. Detailed descriptions to aid the identification of these species, distributions and
phylogenetic trees, based on multiple collections, are presented. The generic concept of Squamarina is
recircumscribed in this study.
Keywords: Squamarinaceae, Petroplaca, Rhizoplaca, Lobothallia, Lecanora, type study.
