Two new species of Cora (lichenized Basidiomycota, Lichenomphaliaceae) and additional records from Bolivia

Two new species of lichens, <i>Cora neoparabovei</i> Oset, Flakus & Guzow-Krzem. and <i>C. neopseudobovei</i> Oset, Flakus & Guzow-Krzem., are described based on material collected in Bolivia. The study is based on morphological and anatomical examinations, molecular phylogenetic analysis and haplotype network analysis of the nuITS rDNA sequences. Phenotypically, <i>Cora neoparabovei</i> is characterised by the long, concentrically arranged setae on the surface of the thallus and densely pilose margins, whereas in <i>C. neopseudobovei</i> the diagnostic features are the brown upper surface thallus when fresh, pale yellow to orange-yellow when dry, with slightly visible concentric colour zonation when dry and also with involute, creamy white margins. In addition, three species, i.e., <i>Cora arcabucana</i> B. Moncada, C. Rodr. & Lücking, <i>C. cuzcoensis</i> Holgado, Rivas Plata & Perlmutter, and <i>C. undulata</i> L.Y. Vargas, B. Moncada & Lücking, are reported as new to Bolivia. New records of <i>C. aspera</i> Wilk, Lücking & E. Morales from Bolivia are reported.
