Abstract 
Archer, Alan W. (Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney, Mrs Macquaries Road, Sydney 2000, Australia) 2001. 
The lichen genera Phaeographis and Phaeographina (Graphidaceae) in Australia 2: Phaeographina — 
new reports and new species. Telopea 9(2) 329-344. An account is given of the species in the lichen 
genus Phaeographina (Graphidaceae) in Australia, other than those taxa based on Australian type 
specimens. An addi tional 14 species are recognised and of these seven are described as new species: 
Phaeographina atromaculata A.W. Archer, P. fuscescens A.W. Archer, P. hadrospora A.W. Archer, 
P. impudica A.W. Archer, P. litoralis A.W. Archer, P. montiscalvi A.W. Archer arid P. wilsonii A.W. 
Archer. Plweographiiw arechavaletae Mull. Arg., P. caesioradians (Leight.) Redinger, P. exilior (Vain.) 
Zahlbr. and P. montagnei (v.d. Bosch) Mull. Arg. are reported as new to Australia. Phaeographina 
banksiae Mull. Arg. is reported as a synonym of P. arechavaletae Mull. Arg. and Phaeographina contexta 
(Pers.) Mull. Arg. is shown to belong to the genus Graphina. The epithets 'chrysentera' and 
' quassiaecola' have been corrected to 'chrysenteron' and 'quassiicola' respectively. A key to all the 
Phaeographina species in Australia is given. 
Introduction 
Part 1 (Archer 2000) dealt with species in the genera Phaeographis and Phaeographina 
that were based on Australian type specimens. The two genera were created by Muller 
to segregate species with brown ascospores from the genus Graphis (Muller 1882); the 
two genera are distinguished from each other by the septation in the ascospores, 
simple in Phaeographis and muriform in Phaeographina. Three new species of 
Phaeographina have recently been described (Archer & Elix 1999; Archer 2000; Archer 
2001) and an additional 14 species found in Australia are described here, seven of 
which are new species. A key to the genus Phaeographina in Australia is provided. 
Material and methods 
This account is based on the chemical and morphological examination of type and 
other specimens from B, BM, BRI, CHR, GZU, H, MEL, NSW and TUR, and in 
particular the recent collections made by J.A. Elix, H. Streimann and D. Verdon 
(CANB). In addition specimens from the private herbaria of J. Hafellner (Graz), H.T. 
Lumbsch (Essen) and K. Kalb (Neumarkt) were examined. The techniques used were 
described previously (Archer 1999, 2000).
