Taxonomy

Molecular phylogenetic tools have been used to confirm that Acarospora sinopica (Wahlenb.) Körb belongs to Acarospora s str - a group of lichens that are highly successful in extreme environments.

Lookalikes

The taxonomic identity of the rust-coloured Acarospora sinopica has been controversial because it has a similar appearance to the non-rust coloured Acarospora smaragdula which belongs to another group of taxonomically tricky crustose lichens.
