A new species of the genus Badimia, Badimia xanthocampylidia, is described from tropical rainforests in southern China and Thailand. The study also discusses three other species and reports the genus Badimia being found in China for the first time. Additionally, a worldwide key to known species in the genus is presented.
The tropical areas of eastern Asia contain a high diversity of foliicolous lichens, including various species of the genus Badimia. Badimia xanthocampylidia W. C. Wang & J. C. Wei is described from tropical rainforests in southern China and Thailand based on morphology, chemistry, and combined mtSSU, ITS and nrLSU sequences. It is characterized by a pale green thallus with yellow verrucae and bright yellow campylidia and the presence of isousnic acid. Three other species, B. multiseptata Papong & Lucking, B. pallidula (Kremp.) Vezda and B. polillensis (Vain.) Vezda, are discussed and the genus Badimia is newly reported from China. A worldwide key to currently known species in the genus is presented.
