Abstract: Sarcogyne endopetrophila Tokiz. & Y. Ohmura, an endolithic lichen, is described as a new species from Hiroshima, western Japan, where it grows on granodiorite rocks along a river. Sarcogyne endopetrophila resembles S. clavus, S. gibberella, and S. hypophaea in having endolithic thalli and lecideoid apothecia with black to dark-red discs lacking pruina. However, it is distinguished from them by having smaller apothecia with smooth margin, pale brown and thick hypothecium, and indistinct subhymenium. Pycnidia of S. endopetrophila were also found on the bare rock surfaces. The identity of pycnidia was confirmed by comparisons with ITS rDNA sequences of the pycnidia, apothecia and endolithic thalli.
