Umbilicaria platyrhiza Davydov sp. nov. is described within the Umbilicaria crustulosa – U. spodochroa species complex
and illustrated. The new species resembles Umbilicaria crustulosa phenotypically, but is distinct by apothecia with a single
gyrus of sterile tissue, grey-brown to black lower surface with flattened to strap-like rhizinomorphs, and by producing
umbilicaric (vs. crustinic) acid. Umbilicaria platyrhiza inhabits silicate rocks at low elevations in the Mediterranean region
of Eurasia (Prov. Izmir in Turkey and Burgas Region in Bulgaria).
Keywords: Asia, endemic, Europe, HPLC, lichens, new taxa, U. vellea-group.
