Ampliotrema is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae. [1] The genus was originally described invalidly in 2004, [2] and validly two years later. [3]
As accepted by Species Fungorum: [4]
The Graphidaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Graphidales. The family contains nearly a hundred genera and more than 2000 species. Although the family has a cosmopolitan distribution, most Graphidaceae species occur in tropical regions, and typically grow on bark.
The Pertusariaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Pertusariales.
Carbacanthographis is a genus of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichens in the family Graphidaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologists Bettina Staiger and Klaus Kalb in 2002. An updated worldwide key to the genus was published in 2022 that added 17 new species.
Myriotrema is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae.
Melanotrema is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Andreas Frisch in 2006, with M. platystomum assigned as the type species.
Acanthotrema is a genus of lichens in the family Graphidaceae. The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Andreas Frisch in 2006, with Acanthotrema brasilianum assigned as the type species.
Stegobolus is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae.
Redingeria is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Graphidaceae. It was circumscribed in 2006 by Andreas Frisch, with Redingeria leiostoma assigned as the type species. The genus name honours Karl Martin Redinger (1907–1940), an Austrian botanist.
Gassicurtia is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Caliciaceae.
Enterographa is a genus of lichens in the family Roccellaceae.
Traponora is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lecanoraceae. The genus was circumscribed in 2009 by Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot, with the Papua New Guinean Traponora asterella assigned as the type, and at that time, only species. Four newly described species were added to the genus in a 2009 publication, a species formerly in Pyrrhospora was transferred to the genus in 2017, and a new species from Australia added in 2018. Traponora lichens are predominantly from Australasia, with all species but one known to occur in Papua New Guinea.
Thomas Hawkes Nash III is an American lichenologist. His research is about the biology and ecology of lichens, and the effects of air pollution on plants and lichens. He is known as an authority on the family Parmeliaceae. During his long career at the Arizona State University, he helped develop the lichen herbarium into a world-class collection with over 100,000 specimens representing more than 5000 species. In 2010, the year of his retirement, he was awarded the Acharius Medal for lifetime achievements in lichenology, and the following year had a Festschrift published in his honor.
Coenogonium is a genus of crustose lichens in the monotypic family Coenogoniaceae. It has about 90 species. Most species are leaf-dwelling or grow on bark, although a few are known to grow on rocks under certain conditions, and some are restricted to growth on termite nests. The genus was circumscribed in 1820 by German naturalist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg.
Klaus Kalb is a German lichenologist and an authority on tropical lichens.
Megalospora is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Megalosporaceae.
Henricus (Harrie) Johannes Maria Sipman is a Dutch lichenologist. He specialises in tropical and subtropical lichens, and has authored or co-authored more than 250 scientific publications. He was the curator of the lichen herbarium at the Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum from 1983 until his retirement in 2010.
Sipmaniella is a fungal genus in the family Megalosporaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Sipmaniella sulphureofusca, a crustose lichen found on Réunion. This species was previously named Lecanora sulfureo-fusca by French botanist Antoine Laurent Apollinaire Fée in 1825, and had also been shuffled to the genera Lecania and Patellaria in the late 1800s. The genus name honours Dutch lichenologist Harrie Sipman.
Heiomasia is a genus of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichens in the family Graphidaceae. It has five species.
Trinathotrema is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Stictidaceae. It has three species. The genus was circumscribed in 2011 by Robert Lücking, Eimy Rivas Plata, and Armin Mangold, with Trinathotrema stictideum assigned as the type species. The genus name is an imperfect anagram in honour of American lichenologist Thomas Nash III, combining the letters -tho, -na, and -tri. Although most members of the Stictidaceae have chlorococcoid green algae as their photobiont partner, Trinathotrema associates with a trentepohlioid photobiont.
