Resumen

Circinaria terrenoides sp. nov. se recolectó en Baluchistán y Gilgit Baltistán. La investigación morfoanatómica comparativa, el análisis químico y los análisis de ADN basados en ITS apoyan su inclusión en el género Circinaria. Circinaria terrenoides sp. nov. se distingue de la especie estrechamente relacionada C. affinis por tener un talo costroso, areolado a rimoso-areolado (frente a subfrutescente, verrucoso-areolado), superficie superior marrón terroso a gris verdoso (frente a gris terroso a gris verdoso), superficie superior marrón terroso a gris verdoso (frente a gris terroso a gris verdoso) y superficie superior marrón terroso a gris verdoso (frente a gris verdoso, gris terroso a gris verdoso), conidios más pequeños de 12–18 × 0,4–0,9 µm (frente a 16–20 × 1–1,2 μm), picnidios (frente a negros a parduscos) y que crecen en rocas sedimentarias calcáreas (frente a estepas pedregosas).
