In previous studies investigating the genus Xanthoparmelia, thirteen different species have been reported from South Korea alone. However, there currently has been no revisional study performed until now. To explore the genus Xanthoparmelia, a phenotypic analysis was performed based on morphological, anatomical and chemical characters, while an investigation of Xanthoparmelia phylogeny was based on nuclear ribosomal (nr) DNA ITS sequences. A thorough examination of the specimens deposited in the Korean Lichen Research Institute (KoLRI) confirmed that eight species of Xanthoparmelia occur inside South Korea. Our analysis further confirmed the colors of the lower surface and medullar chemistry are important taxonomic characters in Xanthoparmelia. This study also presents a detailed description of each species and a key to the genus.
在之前对黄盘衣属（Xanthoparmelia）的研究中，仅韩国就已报道了13个不同的物种。然而，到目前为止尚未进行过修订研究。为了探究黄盘衣属，基于形态学、解剖学和化学特征进行了表型分析，而对黄盘衣属系统发育的研究则基于核糖体（nr）DNA ITS序列。对保存在韩国地衣研究所（KoLRI）的标本进行的全面检查证实，韩国境内有8种黄盘衣属物种。我们的分析进一步证实，下表面颜色和髓部化学性质是黄盘衣属重要的分类特征。本研究还对每个物种进行了详细描述，并给出了该属的检索表。
