Mor- phological study supported by statistical analyses of ascomata suggests that the species is distinguished from A. parmeliarum s. str. by more globose ascomata. It is distinguished from A. microspermus by larger and slightly darker ascospores. Abrothallus parmeliarum is often associated with Nesolechia-induced galls on diverse parmelioid genera, including Parmotrema, and it is suggested that most populations on these galls belong to A. parme- liarum. Three further specimens on Parmotrema with unusual hymenial and epihymenial pigmentation possibly represent distinct, yet undescribed species.Read More
