Aptroot A. (2009): A revision of the lichen genus Stirtonia - Lichenologist, 41(6): 615-625

The lichen genus Stirtonia has been revised. Thirteen species are accepted in the genus, including three new to science, viz. S. curvata from Irian Jaya and Java, S. schummii from the Seychelles and S. neotropica from Costa Rica and the Dutch Antilles. The known range of the genus is extended from Asian to pantropical. The genus is most diverse in the palaeotropics. Read more...

Aptroot A. (1990): Lichens of Madagascar: new and interesting records and species - Cryptogamie, Bryologie et Lichénologie, 11(4): 401-408

Several species show considerable range extensions; including seven species new to Africa, i.e. Calicium chlorosporum, Coccocarpia domingensis, C. filiformis, Micarea peliocarpa, Pyrgillus javanicus, Relicina amphithrix and Trapeliopsis granulosa.

Aptroot A. (2009): The lichen genus Traponora - Bibliotheca Lichenologica, 100: 21-30

The lichen genus Traponora has been revised: four news species are described in addition to the only previously named species. Representatives of the genus are not uncommon in the tropics, especially the palaeotropics, but often overlooked due to the small size of the thalli and apothecia. Read more...

Aptroot A. (2010): Validation of Traponora species - Australasian Lichenology, 66: 58

Recently (Aptroot 2009), four new species were described in the formerly monotypic lichen genus Traponora. The genus is predominatly Australasian, and all species but one are now known from Papua New Guinea. Unfortunately, the species are invalid, because the descriptions were not accompanied by Latin descriptions. This paper remedies that omission by providing the missing descriptions. For full descriptions, typifications and illustrations of the species, see Aptroot (2009) Read more...

Aptroot A. (1998): New lichens and lichen records from Papua New Guinea, with the description of Crustospathula, a new genus in the Bacidiaceae - Tropical Bryology, 14: 25-34

Aptroot A. (2009): Diversity and endemism in the pyrenocarpous lichen families Pyrenulaceae and Trypetheliaceae in the Malesian flora region - Blumea, 54: 145-147

Species diversity and local endemism is investigated in the pyrenocarpous lichen families Pyrenulaceae and Trypetheliaceae in the Malesian flora region and some peripheral regions. Species numbers in both families seem highest in Australia and Papua New Guinea, but some potentially rich regions are much undercollected. The numbers of local endemics are also highest in these areas, at least in the Pyrenulaceae, and remarkably high for lichens. Even more surprising is the near absence of species … Read more...
