Xanthoparmelia luteonotata (J. Steiner) O. Blanco, A. Crespo, Elix, D. Hawksw. & Lumbsch

Taxon, 53: 968, 2004. Basionym: Parmelia luteonotata J. Steiner - Verh. zool.-bot. Ges. Wien, 12: 472, 1902.
Synonyms: Neofuscelia luteonotata (J. Steiner) Essl.; Parmelia pulla subsp. luteonotata (J. Steiner) Clauzade & Cl. Roux
Distribution: N - TAA (Giordani & al. 2003), Lig (Giordani & al. 2003). C - Tosc (Giordani & al. 2003), Laz (Giordani & al. 2003), Sar (Giordani & al. 2003). S - Cal (Giordani & al. 2003), Si (Giordani & al. 2003).
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, loosely to moderately adnate, forming up to 10 cm wide, sometimes coalescing rosettes. Lobes (0.5-)1-3 mm wide, sublinear to irregular, discrete to imbricate, rarely developing subfruticose branches, the upper surface brown to dark brown, uneven and rugose, the lower surface tan to pale brown, moderately to densely rhizinate; rhizines simple, to 0.5 mm long. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous, with a pored epicortex, the cell walls with Xanthoparmelia-type lichenan; medulla white; lower cortex paraplectenchymatous. Apothecia usually numerous, lecanorine, sessile to stipitate, to 4 mm across, with a brown disc and a smooth thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium colourless; paraphyses simple; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 8-11 x 4-7 µm. Pycnidia common, immersed. Conidia weakly dumbbell-shaped 4-7 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K-, C-, KC-, P-, N+ blue green, UV-; medulla K-, C-, KC- or KC+ pink, P-, UV+ white. Chemistry: medulla with divaricatic or stenosporic acids, with or without gyrophoric acid as an accessory substance.
Note: a mainly Mediterranean species of sun-exposed siliceous rocks wetted by rain, occurring also in dry-warm sites of the Alps; it was not always distinguished from X. pulla in the Italian literature, so that the total distribution is poorly known.
