Type: article
Abstract: During our research on the lichen genus Carbacanthographis from China, two species new to science were discovered in materials from Yunnan and Guangxi Provinces, i.e. Carbacanthographis crassibasalia sp. nov. with a corticate thallus, a completely carbonized excipulum, warty periphysoid tips, hyaline, muriform, 6–18 × 3–4-septate ascospores, and protocetraric acid and C. yunnanensis sp. nov. with an ecorticate thallus, a completely carbonized excipulum, warty periphysoid tips, hyaline, small, submuriform 4–6 × 0–1-septate ascospores and the presence of protocetraric acid. A new record for China, C. iriomotensis, collected in Hainan Province is also reported. Detailed morphological descriptions as well as high-resolution photographs of the morphology and anatomy of the three species are provided. A working key to all the known Carbacanthographis species from China is also provided.
