Abstract

The saxicolous species, Pertusaria weii Q. Ren (Pertusariaceae, Ascomycota) from China, is described as new to science. Diagnostic characters for the new species are a brownish, marginally unzoned thallus; numerous, solitary and lecanorate verrucae with heavily pruinose discs that are black; a strongly K+ violet epithecial reaction; 1-spored cylindrical asci with single, smooth-walled, untrimmed and ovoid spores; and, the presence of stictic acid. It grows on calcareous rock and is known only from the Tianshan Mountains in Western China.
