abstract = {Accurate specimen identification is challenging groups with subtle or scarce taxonomically diagnostic characters, and DNA barcode identification can provide an effective means for consistent identification. Here, we investigate the utility of DNA barcode identification of species in a cosmopolitan genus of lichen-forming, Parmelia (Parmeliaceae). A total of 202 ITS sequences generated from specimens collected gathered from all continents, including Antarctica, were analyzed, and DNA barcodes of 14 species of Parmelia sensu stricto are reported. Almost all species show a barcode gap. Overall intra-specific divergence values were lower than the threshold established for Parmeliaceae previously. However, the mean and range was elevated by deep barcode divergences in three species, indicating occurrence of overlooked species. We here provide a DNA barcode reference library together with well-identified specimens sampled worldwide including Antarctica and sequences of most of the type material to both enable easy and fast accurate sample identification as well as to assist uncovering overlooked species in Parmelia s.s. Further, our results confirm the efficiency of internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) in the identification of Parmelia s.s. species. }
