Abstract

Descriptions and a key for identification of lichenicolous Arthonia species with red to purple pigments reacting with K are provided. The previously reported species, A. cryptotheciae and A. mazosiicola (as A. mazosiae), are here validly described, and A. haematostigma, A. tavaresii and A. destruens var. nana are new to science. The genus Helicobolomyces is introduced with the type species H. lichenicola, being based on the anamorph of A. cinnabarinula.
