All information on the new species is measured from type specimens (BDNA-L-0001218, BDNA-L-0001220, and BDNA-L-0001235) in this study. Particularly the asci of the closest species, Lecanora symmicta, was not described from the previous literature and the asci and the ascospores for the species are measured from selected specimens (BDNA-L-0000547, BDNA-L-0000548, and BDNA-L-0000551) in this study, represented with asterisk marks(*).
