124(4): 494–505
We utilized ITS and mtSSU sequence data to study the phylogenetic relationships of Lepraria
samples collected in the Southern Hemisphere, including Australia, Chile, New Zealand and Antarctica.

combination of morphological, chemical and molecular data, we identified nine lineages in our material.
The lineages are: Lepraria toilenae, L. eburnea, L. nothofagi, L. straminea, L. caerulescens, L. finkii, …
