Calogaya altynenis is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It is found in a few alpine desert locations in Northwestern China, where it grows on old Pamirian winterfat shrubs.

Taxonomy

The lichen was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Hurnisa Shahidin. The type specimen was collected from the Kunlun Mountains (Karakoram) at an altitude of Шаблон:Convert, where it was found growing on twigs of old Krascheninnikovia ceratoides shrubs. The species epithet, originally spelled by the authors as altynis, is the genitive case of the noun Altyn; this refers to the Altyn, a mountain range in the geographical range of the lichen. The spelling of the epithet was later corrected to altynenis.

Description

The thallus of Calogaya altynenis is orange to grey in colour and consists of scattered Шаблон:Lichengloss or Шаблон:Lichengloss–sometimes barely conspicuous–around dispersed Шаблон:Lichengloss that are Шаблон:Lichengloss in form. Шаблон:Lichengloss (rounded granule-like propagules) occur on the fringes of the areoles, or as granules on the Шаблон:Lichengloss; they are about 30–50 μm in diameter. The apothecia have flat to concave Шаблон:Lichengloss that are dark orange to orange in colour, ringed by a thin, light orange Шаблон:Lichengloss. The Шаблон:Lichengloss, which number eight per ascus, are Шаблон:Lichengloss, and measure 10–17 by 5–7 μm.

Habitat and distribution

At the time of its publication, Krascheninnikovia ceratoides was known to occur in three location in the Altyn-Tagh and Karakorum Mountains, at altitudes ranging between Шаблон:Convert.
