About
Fissurina atlantica is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) script lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by Thamires Almeida Pereira, Marcela Eugenia da Silva Cáceres, and Robert Lücking. The type specimen was collected from the Mata do Cipó at an elevation between 80 and 100 m ; here, in an Atlantic Rainforest remnant, it was found growing in the understory. The lichen has a white-grey to pale yellowish-grey or cream-colored thallus lacking a prothallus, and reaches a diameter of 1–5 cm (0.4–2.0 in). It is the first species in genus Fissurina to form soralia. The species epithet atlantica refers to its habitat.
