      Species distribution map of Diorygma aeolum in the WGs of India.

    • Figure 2. 

      Diorygma aeolum (AMH22.257). (a) Thallus surface. (b) Lateral section (LS) of lirellae. (c) Hymenium not-inspersed. (d) Hymenium laterally I+ blue in Lugol's iodine. (e)–(g) Asci with a varied number of ascospores. (h) I– ascospore. (i) I+ blue ascospore. (j) Ascospore in water. Scale bars: (a) = 1 mm, (b) = 100 μm, (c) = 10 μm, (d), (e) = 50 μm, (f)–(h) = 20 μm, (i), (j) = 10 μm.

      Diorygma albovirescens (holotype). (a), (b) Holotype herbarium material. (c), (d) Thallus. (e)–(j) Ascus showing ascospores. Scale bars: (c) = 1 mm, (d) = 500 μm, (e)–(j) = 20 μm.

    • Figure 4. 

      Diorygma saxicola (holotype). (a), (b) Holotype herbarium material. (c), (d) Thallus. (e)–(g) Ascus showing ascospores. Scale bars: (c) = 1 mm, (d) = 500 μm, (e), (f) = 100 μm, (g) = 20 μm.

    • Figure 5. 

      Phylogenetic tree generated from Maximum Likelihood (ML) analyses based on the combined mtSSU + nuLSU + RPB2 data for the genera Diorygma and Thalloloma species (Graphidaceae). Node support from 1,000 non-parametric bootstraps for RAxML (R-BS), IQ-TREE (UFboot-BS), and posterior probability (PP) from MrBayes are shown at the nodes (R-BS ≥ 70%/Ufboot-BS ≥ 95%/PP ≥ 0.95). Low support values are not denoted. The tree is rooted with Phaeographis intricans voucher Kalb38864. The sequence generated for Diorygma aeolum in this study is indicated in blue.

    • Figure 6. 

      Phylogenetic tree generated from Maximum Likelihood (ML) analyses based on the combined ITS data for the genus Trentepohlia (Trentepohliaceae), and allied Printzina species. Node support from 1,000 non-parametric bootstraps for RAxML (R-BS), IQ-TREE (UFboot-BS), and posterior probability (PP) from MrBayes are shown at the nodes (R-BS ≥ 70%/Ufboot-BS ≥ 95%/PP ≥ 0.95). Low support values are not denoted. The tree is rooted with Phycopeltis epiphyton voucher YN1201. The sequence generated for Trentepohlia sp. in this study is indicated in blue.
