8D425145FFC46F58CBF6D631FECB6D38.taxon	diagnosis	The present species is easily distinguished from allied species of the genus by the presence of soredia. Soralia are variable in shape, varying from pustules to farinose soredia. They are formed laminally and subterminally; laminal soralia are rounded and often diffusing, and subterminal soredia often inflated, forming capitate soralia.	en	Moon, Kwang Hee, Ahn, Chorong, Kashiwadani, Hiroyuki (2015): Revision of the lichen genus Myelochroa (Ascomycotina: Parmeliaceae) in Korea.

8D425145FFC46F58CBF6D631FECB6D38.taxon	discussion	Hale (1976) considered that Parmelina aurulenta (= Myelochroa aurulenta) produces leucotylic acid as the major substance. According to Kurokawa and Arakawa (1997), leucotylic acid was demonstrated in 24 of 25 specimens collected in Japan, while leucotylin was detected from only one specimen. The Korean materials show a similar tendency with leucotylic acid demonstrated in 40 of the 43 specimens and leucotylin detected in only three specimens; however, no morphological differences have been found between the two chemical races, and the chemical difference seems to have no taxonomic value. Park (1990) described Myelochroa coreana Y. S. Park based on a specimen collected at Mt. Sorak, Korea. As discussed by Moon (1999), the holotype specimen preserved in DUKE shows typical morphological characters found in M. aurulenta. In addition, specimens examined by her include the two chemical variations shown above. Therefore, M. coreana is simply reduced to a synonym of M. aurulenta. Moon et al. (2013) described Myelochroa ibukiensis K. H. Moon, Kashiw. & K. Kobayashi based on a specimen collected at Ibuki, Maebara-city, Japan. They stressed the presence of red dots that appeared to be pigments of the medulla; however, detailed study of the holotype reveals that the red dots are derived from the juvenile colony of a parasitic fungus (Marchandiomyces corallines), which does not belong with the mycobiont of the holotype. All other morphological and chemical characters are those found in M. aurulenta. Thus, M. ibukiensis is reduced to a synonym of M. aurulenta. In Korea, M. aurulenta has been reported as Parmelia aurulenta (Park, 1979; Lee, 1987; Ri and Hyun, 1988; Ri, 1988; 2000), Parmelina aurulenta (Hale, 1976), M. coreana (Park, 1990) and M. aurulenta (Park, 1990; Moon, 1997; 1999; Kashiwadani et al., 2002; Hur et al., 2004; Jayalal et al., 2012).	en	Moon, Kwang Hee, Ahn, Chorong, Kashiwadani, Hiroyuki (2015): Revision of the lichen genus Myelochroa (Ascomycotina: Parmeliaceae) in Korea.

8D425145FFC76F58CBF0D6D2FBBE683C.taxon	diagnosis	This species is characterized by the lack of soredia, reticulate wrinkles often burst open along the ridges, and the very fragile upper cortex that is often flaked away to expose the medulla. It is easily distinguished from allied species by the wrinkled and fragile thallus, which often exposes yellow or white patches of medulla. Ridges of wrinkles found on the thallus often burst open but never produce soredia or pustules.	en	Moon, Kwang Hee, Ahn, Chorong, Kashiwadani, Hiroyuki (2015): Revision of the lichen genus Myelochroa (Ascomycotina: Parmeliaceae) in Korea.

8D425145FFC76F58CBF0D6D2FBBE683C.taxon	discussion	Hale (1976) reported leucotylin as the major chemical substance of Myelochroa enthotheiohroa; however, in Korea, 13 of 20 specimens produced leucotylin while 7 produced leucotylic acid. A similar result was also reported from Japan (Kurokawa and Arakawa, 1997). Myelochroa entotheiochroa is one of the commonest foliose species in lowland Korea. In Korea, M. entotheiochroa has been reported as Parmelia entotheiochroa (Asahina, 1951; 1952; Kim, 1965; 1979; 1980; 1981; Park, 1976; Cho and Lee, 1980; Lee, 1987; Ri, 1988; Huneck et al., 1989), as Parmelina entotheiochroa (Hale, 1976), as M. entotheiochroa (Park, 1990; Moon, 1997; Kashiwadani et al., 2002; Hur et al., 2004; Jayalal et al., 2012) and as M. rhytidodes (Park, 1990).

8D425145FFC66F5CC80CD5F3FDC16D9B.taxon	diagnosis	Myelochroa irrugans is characterized by the lobes loosely attached to the substrata, the absence of asexual propagules and the absence of galbinic acid. Morphologically this species very much resembles M. galbina, which differs by the production of galbinic and salazinic acids. In addition, it is rather loosely attached to the substrate, whereas M. galbina is always tightly attached.	en	Moon, Kwang Hee, Ahn, Chorong, Kashiwadani, Hiroyuki (2015): Revision of the lichen genus Myelochroa (Ascomycotina: Parmeliaceae) in Korea.

8D425145FFC66F5CC80CD5F3FDC16D9B.taxon	discussion	In 2012, Jayalal et al. reported M. xantholepis (Mont. & Bosch) Elix & Hale from South Korea and stressed that their specimens have dimorphic lobes and a pale yellow medulla. Although the Korean specimens used by them have newly found small lobes (Fig. 1), these are not the same as those found in M. xantholepis, which has dichotomously divided lobules (Fig. 2) toward the lobe margins (Hale, 1976). In addition, the yellow medulla of the Korean materials is different from the characteristic orange-yellow medulla observed in M. xantholepis (Hale, 1976). Therefore, these specimens should be simply identified with M. irrugans. Cho and Lee (1980) reported the occurrence of Myelochroa denegans (Nyl.) Elix & Hale under a name of Parmelia denegans. Although the specimen examined by them has disappeared and is unable to be traced, it is highly possible that this specimen could be identified with M. irrugans as they indicated the absence of soredia and isidia, and the presence of K + yellow medulla. Myelochroa irrugans shows extensive variation in regard to thickness of the thallus, lobe width and size of mature apothecia. Among the specimens of this species, those with a narrow and thin thallus were once treated under Parmelia subaurulenta (= M. subaurulenta) and those with small apothecia as P. subaurulenta var. myriocarpa (Asahina, 1951); however, these morphological characters found in the present species have no taxonomic value for separating species as already discussed by Kurokawa and Arakawa (1997).	en	Moon, Kwang Hee, Ahn, Chorong, Kashiwadani, Hiroyuki (2015): Revision of the lichen genus Myelochroa (Ascomycotina: Parmeliaceae) in Korea.

8D425145FFC36F5CCBF0D572FB826F9D.taxon	diagnosis	Myelochroa leucotyliza is characterized by the pustulate lobes forming granular soredia, the absence of moniliform cells in the medulla and the lack of galbinic acid. It resembles M. aurulenta, which differs in having farinose soredia. Externally it also resembles M. hayachinensis, but it is easily distinguished from the latter by the absence of galbinic acid.	en	Moon, Kwang Hee, Ahn, Chorong, Kashiwadani, Hiroyuki (2015): Revision of the lichen genus Myelochroa (Ascomycotina: Parmeliaceae) in Korea.

8D425145FFC26F5DCBF6D417FAAB693F.taxon	discussion	Myelochroa perisidians resembles M. indica because they both have isidiate thalli; however, it can be distinguished from the latter by the loosely adnate thallus with wider lobes (0.5 - 2.0 mm wide) and the presence of secalonic acid A; the latter species has a hardly adnate thallus with smaller lobes (0.8 - 1.2 mm wide). Although the medulla of M. perisidians varies from pale yellow to almost white, that of M. indica is constantly white. Therefore, the final decision to distinguish between the two species should be a check for the presence or absence of secalonic acid A in the medulla. This species was reported from Korea under M. indica by Park (1990) and Jayalal et al. (2012); however, Park (1990) reported that the specimens contain secalonic acid A and have lobes of 1 - 3 mm wide. Therefore, the specimens should be identified with M. perisidians rather than M. indica. We re-examined all materials treated under M. indica by Jayalal et al. and confirmed that all specimens contain atranorin, zeorin, leucotylin and secalonic acid A, characteristic chemical features for M. perisidians.	en	Moon, Kwang Hee, Ahn, Chorong, Kashiwadani, Hiroyuki (2015): Revision of the lichen genus Myelochroa (Ascomycotina: Parmeliaceae) in Korea.

8D425145FFC26F5DCBF6D417FAAB693F.taxon	distribution	This species is widely distributed in Asia, having been recorded from India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Japan (Hale, 1976; Kurokawa and Arakawa, 1997) and Korea. The reports from Korea were made by several authors as Parmelia subsulphurata Asahina (Kim, 1965; 1980; Kim, 1983; Ri, 1988), as P. perisidians Nyl. (Lee, 1987), as M. perisidians (Jayalal et al., 2012) and as M. indica (Park, 1990; Jayalal et al., 2012). The distribution in Korea is restricted to the southern part of the Korean peninsula, where it grows both on tree trunks and on rocks.	en	Moon, Kwang Hee, Ahn, Chorong, Kashiwadani, Hiroyuki (2015): Revision of the lichen genus Myelochroa (Ascomycotina: Parmeliaceae) in Korea.
