Claurouxia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lecanoraceae. [1] This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Claurouxia chalybeioides.

The genus name of Claurouxia is in honour of F.J. Georges Clauzade (1914–2002) a French teacher and botanist (Mycology and Lichenology) and Claude Roux a French botanist and geologist, who had, together, in 1984 proposed the generic name Pseudolecidea, an invalid homonym, for the same species. [2]

The genus was circumscribed by David Leslie Hawksworth in Syst. Ascom. Vol. 7 on page 65 in 1988.

Leslie Pedley was an Australian botanist who specialised in the genus Acacia. He is notable for bringing into use the generic name Racosperma, creating a split in the genus, which required some 900 Australian species to be renamed, because the type species of Acacia, Acacia nilotica, now Vachellia nilotica, had a different lineage from the Australian wattles. However, the International Botanical Congress (IBC), held in Melbourne in 2011, ratified its earlier decision to retain the name Acacia for the Australian species, but to rename the African species.
