Carbacanthographis salazinicoides
Carbacanthographis salazinicoides is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in Papua New Guinea, it was formally described as a new species in 2022 by Shirley Cunha Feuerstein and Robert Lücking. The type specimen was collected by André Aptroot from a primary montane forest in Myola (Owen Stanley Range, Central Province), at an elevation of . It is only known to occur at the type locality. The specific epithet salazinicoides refers to its resemblance with Carbacanthographis salazinica, from which it differs by having larger ascospores. The lichen has a pale beige to whitish thallus with a thin cortex and a dark brown prothallus. It has hyaline ascospores that measure 40–60 by 8 μm; these spores are muriform, meaning they are divided into chambers with longitudinal and transverse septa. Carbacanthographis salazinicoides contains salazinic acid, a lichen product that can be detected using thin-layer chromatography. References
