Based on field trips between 1995-2007, rare and noteworthy lichens from the Altai Mountains in southern Siberia are described. Of the 20 species reported here, Mycoblastus alpinus is new for the West Siberia, 4 species Catinaria atropurpurea, Lecanora subcarpinea, Ochrolechia arborea, Physcia alnophila and Rhizoplaca subdiscrepans are new for Altai Mts., Umbilicaria lyngei is new for Tyva Republic, and Caloplaca chrysophthalma, Heterodermia japonica, Ochrolechia androgyna, O. turneri and Pilophorus cereolus are new for Altaisky krai (West Altai). The presence in Altai Mts. of Lecanora symmicta, Ochrolechia pallescens, Pertusaria alpina, P. amara, P. sommerfeltii and Placynthiella icmalea was confirmed using TLC. The secondary chemistry seems to be very useful to distinguish Umbilicaria decussata and U. lyngei in Altai. Whereas gyrophoric and lecanoric were revealed for U. decussata by TLC, specimens of U. lyngei represent two chemotypes: without lichen substances and containing norstictic acid.

ADDITioNs To THE LICHEN BioTA of ALTAI MouNTAINs (siBERIA). Ill

дополнения к видовому составу лишайников алтайской горной страны. III

Summary. Based on field trips between 1995-2007, rare and noteworthy lichens from the Altai Mountains in southern Siberia are described. Of the 20 species reported here, Mycoblastus alpinus is new for the West Siberia, 4 species - Catinaria atropurpurea, Lecanora subcarpinea, Ochrolechia arborea, Physcia alnophila and Rhizoplaca subdiscrepans are new for Altai Mts., Umbilicaria lyngei is new for Tyva Republic, and Caloplaca chrysophthalma, Heterodermiajaponica, Ochrolechia androgyna, O. turneri and Pilophorus cereolus are new for Altaisky krai (West Altai). The presence in Altai Mts. of Lecanora symmicta, Ochrolechia pallescens, Pertusaria alpina, P. amara, P. sommerfeltii and Placynthiella icmalea was confirmed using TLC. The secondary chemistry seems to be very useful to distinguish Umbilicaria decussata and U. lyngei in Altai. Whereas gyrophoric and lecanoric were revealed for U. decussata by TLC, specimens of U. lyngei represent two chemotypes: without lichen substances and containing norstictic acid.

Key words: new records, lichen, Russia, Siberia, Altaisky krai, Altai Respublic, Ochrolechia, Pertusaria, Umbilicaria decussata, U. lyngei.

Аннотация. В статье обсуждаются редкие и интересные находки лишайников, собранных авторами в 1995-2007 гг. на Алтае (Южная Сибирь). Из 20 видов один - Mycoblastus alpinus - новый для Западной Сибири, пять - Catinaria atropurpurea, Lecanora subcarpinea, Ochrolechia arborea, Physcia alnophila и Rhizoplaca subdiscrepans - новые для Алтая, Caloplaca chrysophthalma, Heterodermia japonica, Ochrolechia androgyna, O. turneri и Pilophorus cereolus - новые для Алтайского края (Западный Алтай). Обитание на Алтае Lecanora symmicta, Ochrolechia pallescens, Pertusaria alpina, P. amara, P. sommerfeltii и Placynthiella icmalea подтверждено с использованием данных тонкослойной хроматографии. Показано, что состав вторичных метаболитов надежно отличает морфологически близкие Umbilicaria decussata и U. lyngei в пределах Алтая. В талломах U. decussata методом ТСХ выявляется гирофоровая и леканоровая кислоты, в то время как U. lyngei представлена двумя хемотипами: без лишайниковых кислот и с норстиктовой кислотой.

Ключевые слова: новые находки, лишайники, Россия, Сибирь, Алтайский край, Республика Алтай, Ochrolechia, Pertusaria, Umbilicaria decussata, U. lyngei.

results and discussion

Caloplaca chrysophthalma Degel. [TLC: emodin, parietin, fragillin]

The investigated specimen was sterile. This sorediate circumboreal species has a scattered distribution in Europe, Asia and North America (Kondratiuk et al., 2004). In Asia it is already known from Taiwan (Aptroot & Sparrius, 2003), Russia (see Ur-banavichus, 2010), North China (Wetmore, 2004) and Mongolia (Hauck & Javkhlan, 2006). It was recorded for Altai by Kondratyuk et al. (2004) and is reported as new for the West Altai (Altaisky krai) here. The single specimen was collected on bark of Populus tremula in Abies sibirica - Betula pendula fern - tall forb forest.

specimens examined: Altaisky krai,

Zmeinogorsky district, western part of Tigireksky range, 51°06’49’’ N, 83°01’01’’ E, alt. 1000 m, 12.VII.2006, ED 6716 (ALTB).

Catinaria atropurpurea (Schaer.) Vezda &

Poelt

A widespread circumboreal species (Kotlov, 2003) reported here as new for the Altai Mts. where it was collected on Salix shrub in swamp in humid wood pasture with Larix sibirica, Pinus sibirica, Picea obovata and a lot of dead wood.

Altai Republic, Ust’-Kansky district, W of Mt. Chugunka and S of river Tarkhata, 50°43’49.7’’ N, 85°24’15.8’’ E, alt. 1680 m, 1.VII.2003, CP 8766 (FR).

Lecanora subcarpinea Szatala [TLC: atra-norin, psoromic a.]

The species is widespread in Europe (Lumbsch et al., 1997; Aptroot et al., 2005) and the Caucasus (Novruzov, 1990; Blinkova et al., 2003) and has recently been recorded for South Siberia from the Sayan Mts. (Sedelnikova, 2001). New for the Altai Mts. where it was collected along creeks on bark of Salix sp. in forest of Picea obovata, Betula and Salix along creek, and on trunk of Picea obovata in P obovata forest. It seems more widely distributed in Siberia than previously assumed.

specimens examined: Altaisky krai, So-loneshensky district, Bashchelaksky range, along the river Shinok between the villages Tog-Altai and Cherny Anuy, 51°21’43.6’’ N, 83°35’20.4’’ E, alt. 910 m, 28.VI.2003, CP 8521 (FR); Altai Republic.

Sprib. & Printzen, which are morphologically very similar but does not seem to be very closely related (Palice et al. 2011, Perez-Ortega et al., 2010; Printzen & May, 2002). All investigated specimens from the Altai Mts., however, belong to Lecanora symmicta s. str. Common within the area on bark of Abies sibirica, Sorbus sibirica, Populus tremula, Pinus sibirica, Picea obovata Betula pendula, Salix caprea and other trees in the forest belt, e.g. tall forb Abies sibirica forest, forest of Picea obovata, Betula and Salix along creek and taiga forest (Abies sibirica, Larix sibirica, Pinus sibirica).

Ochrolechia arborea (Kreyer) Almb. [TLC: gyrophoric a., lichexanthone (+ lecanoric or hiascic a.)]

This circumboreal species of Ochrolechia is characterized by the content of lichexanthone and is known in Russia from the European part, the Ural Mts., Siberia and the Far East (Urbanavichus, 2010). It was also reported from Mongolia (Golubkova, 1981). New for Altai Mts. where it is quite common in the forest belt on bark of Abies sibirica and Picea obovata, more rarely on Sorbus sibirica and Betula pendula.

specimens examined: Altaisky krai,

Zmeinogorsky district, Tigireksky range, right bank of the Belaya River, 7 km upstream of the mouth of the Berlozhia river, 50°57’34’’ N, 83°02’59’’ E, alt. 717 m, 7.VII.2006, ED 6736 (ALTB); same range, c. 4 km S of Andreevsky, valley of the Malaya Amelikha River near the confluence with Zagornaya Amelikha River, 51°04’40.4’’ N, 82°49’57.9’’ E, alt. 850 m, 26.VI.2003, CP (8364); same range, near the headwaters of Batalikha River, 51°03.0’ N, 82°53.1’ E, alt. 1525 m, 10.VIII.2003, ED 6737 (ALTB); So-loneshensky district, Bashchelaksky range, along the river Shinok between the villages Tog-Altai and Cherny Anuy, 51°21’42.5’’ N, 83°34’53.1’’ E, alt. 870 m, 28.VI.2003, CP 8552 (FR); Altai Republic, Ust’-Kansky district, between the villages Tog-Altai and Cherny Anuy, 51°21’24.0’’ N, 83°34’06.0’’ E, alt. 670 m, forest of Picea obovata along creek, 29.VI.2003, CP 8616, 8635 (FR); same locality, CP 8618 (FR); same locality, CP 8601, 8604, 8609, 8611 (FR); Ust’-Koksinsky district, Katunsky range, at the junction of the Khazinikha and Ioldo Rivers, 49°53’ N, 86°04’ E, alt. 1800 m, 22.VII.2000, ED 6735, 6756 (ALTB).

Ochrolechia pallescens (L.) A. Massal. [TLC: variolaric a. in thallus, variolaric, gyrophoric & lecanoric a. in apothecia]

Most reports of this species are from Europe (including the European part of Russia), the Ural Mts., South Siberia and the Far East, but it has also been reported from Israel and India (Kukwa, 2009). According to Kukwa (ibid.) its occurrence in South America is dubious. The records confirm the presence of this species in the Altai (Sedelnikova, 1990), where it was found on bark of Salix and Populus tremula in Abies sibirica - Populus tremula mountain relict forest.

specimens examined: Altaisky krai,

Zmeinogorsky district, Kolyvansky range, left

bank of Belaya River at 1,5 km NW of Stanova-ya Mt.

Ochrolechia turneri (Sw.) Hasselrot [TLC: variolaric a.]

Common and widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. In Russia reported from the European North, the Caucasus, South Siberia and South Pri-morye (Urbanavichus, 2010). The records confirm the presence of this species in the Altai (Sedelnik-ova, 1990) and extend its known range to the West Altai (Altaisky krai). The specimens were collected on wood or bark of Abies sibirica and Pinus sibirica in Pinus sibirica - Abies sibirica forest, and humid wood pasture with Larix sibirica, Pinus sibirica and Picea obovata.

specimens examined: Altaisky krai,

Zmeinogorsky district, Tigireksky range, near the headwaters of the Bol’shoi Tigirek River, right bank of Babyi Kluch spring, 51°03’05’’ N, 82°58’37’’ E, alt. 1490 m, 9.IX.2005, ED 6746 (ALTB); Altai Republic, Ust’-Kansky district, W of Mt. Chugunka and S of river Tarkhata, 50°43’49.7’’ N, 85°24’15.8’’ E, alt. 1680 m, 1.VII.2003, CP 8741, 8786 (FR); Ust’-Koksinsky district, Katunsky range, S bank of Tal’menie Lake, left bank of Ozyornaia River, slope with NW exposition, 49°48’ N, 85°49’ E, alt. 15161700 m, 15.VII.2000, ED 6745 (ALTB).

Pertusaria albescens (Huds.) M. Choisy et Werner [TLC: no substances or undetermined fatty acid]

This species is also widespread and common in Russia (Urbanavichus, 2010). The records confirm its presence in the Altai Mts. (Davydov, 2001; Sedelnikova, 1990). Reports of P hemispha-erica (Florke) Eriksen from Siberia lacking TLC data probably belong to this species.

specimens examined: Altaisky krai,

Physcia alnophila (Vain.) Loht., Moberg, Myllys & Tehler

This taxon was recently elevated to species level using molecular phylogenetic data (Lohtander et al., 2009). Its distribution is not clear because it was previously treated as a variety of P. aipolia (Ehrh. ex Humb.) Fürnr. Common within the Altai Mts. on bark of Salix growing along rivers. New for the Altai Mts.

Rhizoplaca subdiscrepans (Nyl.) R. Sant. The distribution of this species in Russia requires additional investigations. The species was so far reported from a few localities in the European North, the southern Ural Mts, South and East Siberia (Urbanavichus, 2010). New for the Altai Mts. where it is rather common.

specimens examined: Altaisky krai,

Zmeinogorsky district, Tigireksky range, near the headwaters of the Belaya River, 51°01’16’’ N, 83°04’10’’ E, alt. 1488 m, timberline, rocks, on stones, 5.VII.2006, ED 6766 (ALTB).

Umbilicaria decussata (Vill.) Zahlbr. [TLC: gyrophoric and lecanoric acid]

The species is found at high altitudes and latitudes worldwide. In many cases it is tardily distinguished from U. lyngei Schol. in sterile condition. The study of L0fall & Timdal (2005) in Norway and Svalbard showed that secondary chemistry may help to distinguish these two species. According to their study based on fertile material, U. decussata contains gyrophoric acid, sometimes also norstictic acid, whereas U. lyngei lacks lichen substances or

sometimes contains norstictic acid. Because U. de-cussata only very rarely produces apothecia, and U. lyngei was never found fertile in the Altai, we used nrITS DNA sequences to verify identifications of our specimens. Based on these results we confirmed the occurrence of gyrophoric and lecanoric acids in U. decussata by TLC. and detected two chemotypes of U. lyngei: one without lichen substances and one containing norstictic acid. Thus, secondary chemistry seems to be very useful to distinguish the two species in the Altai.

specimens examined: Altaysky krai, Zmeinogorsky district, Tigireksky range, left bank of the Belaya River, the Chornaya Mt. (elev. 2013 m), rocks on the watershed, on rocks, 51°00’17’’ N, 83°07’15’’ E, alt. 1838 m, 11.VII.2006, DE 7100 (ALTB); Altai republic, Ust’-Koksinsky district, Katunsky range, upper reaches of the Ak-Kem River, right bank, stone fields and rocks, on rocks, 49°59’15.6’’ N, 86°35’09.3’’ E, alt. 2686 m, 9.VIII.2009, ED 7108 (ALTB).

Umbilicaria lyngei schol.

Umbilicaria lyngei is more common than U. decussata in the Altai and widely distributed in the alpine zone from the timberline to the summits near the snow line as well as in high mountain steppes. It is reported here as a new for Tyva Republic. The species grow on rock outcrops or on boulders. specimens examined:
