Rinodina salicis Lee & Hur and Rinodina zeorina Lee & Hur are described as new lichen-forming fungi
from forested wetlands or a humid forest in South Korea. Rinodina salicis is distinguishable from Rinodina
excrescens Vain., the most similar species, by its olive-gray thallus with smaller areoles without having blastidia, contiguous apothecia, non-pruinose discs, paler disc color, wider ascospores in the Pachysporaria type II, and the absence of secondary metabolites. Rinodina zeorina differs from Rinodina hypobadia
Sheard by areolate and brownish thallus, non-pruinose apothecia, colorless and wider parathecium, narrower paraphyses with non-pigmented and unswollen tips, longer and narrower ascospores with angular
to globose lumina, and the absence of pannarin. Molecular analyses employing internal transcribed spacer
(ITS) sequences strongly support the two new species to be unique in the genus Rinodina. An updated key
is provided to assist in the identification of all 63 taxa in Rinodina of the far eastern Asia.
