Phaeographina montiscalvi A. W. Archer, sp. nov. (Fig. 11, 3f) 
Phaeographina caesioradianti similis sed labiis convergentibus et acido stictico praesenti 
differt. 
Type: Australia. Queensland: Great Dividing Range, Mount Baldy, 4 km SW of 
Atherton, 17°17'S, 145°27'E, alt. 1080 m, on fallen tree branch, H. Streimann 29212, June 
1984 (holo CANB; iso US). 
Thallus off-white, thin, corticolous, surface smooth and slightly shiny; apothecia 
lirelliform, conspicuous, dark brown, numerous, scattered or crowded, sessile, lips 
closed, with a conspicuous thalline margin, straight, curved or sinuous, sometimes 
repeatedly branched, 1—4(—6) mm long, 0.15-0.25 mm wide; proper exciple ill-defined, 
pale yellowish brown; hymenium 120-150 pm tall; disc pale brown to brown; 
ascospores 8 per ascus, ellipsoid, pale brown, 25-35 gm long, 8-10 gm wide, 6-8 x 2-3 
locular. 
Chemistry: stictic acid. 
Distribution: endemic; known only from the type specimen from north-eastern 
Queensland. 
Notes: Phaeographina montiscalvi is charcterised by the conspicuous, dark brown 
lirellae, the small ascospores and the presence of stictic acid. The new species is so far 
known only from the type specimen. It is distinguished from the similar P. caesioradians 
by the closed lirellae and the presence of stictic acid. The species is so far known only 
from the type specimen. 
Etymology: The epithet montiscalvi is from the Latin, mons, mountain, calvus, bald, a 
reference to the type locality. Mount Baldy.
