Notes.
In the phylogenetic trees, Kriegeria , Kriegeriopsis , Libkindia , Lichenia , Meredithblackwellia , Phenoliferia , and Yamadamyces were clustered in Kriegeriaceae (Fig. 1 View Figure 1 , Suppl. material 1). The identity rates of ITS and LSU between Lichenia and other genera in Kriegeriaceae are lower than the genera thresholds of 96.31 % for ITS and 97.11 % for LSU (Table 3 View Table 3 ), agreeing with the taxonomic thresholds predicted by Vu et al. (2016). Therefore, we propose Lichenia as a new genus in Kriegeriaceae .
