<i>Malmidea</i> Genus of fungi

Malmidea is a genus of crustose lichens and the type genus of the family Malmideaceae. It was established in 2011 to contain a phylogenetically distinct group of species formerly placed in the genus Malcolmiella. Malmidea comprises more than 50 mostly tropical species that grow on bark, although a few grow on leaves.

Orcularia is a genus of four species of lichens in the family Caliciaceae. It was originally circumscribed as a section of the genus Rinodina by Swedish botanist Gustaf Oskar Andersson Malme in 1902. Klaus Kalb and Mireia Giralt promoted it to generic status in 2011. Orcularia is characterized by the presence of ascospores that develop in such a way that the septum is inserted after lateral wall thickenings become distinct, and also by threadlike (filiform) conidia.

Gyalectaria is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Coccotremataceae. It has three species. The genus was circumscribed in 2010 by Imke Schmitt, Klaus Kalb and Helge Thorsten Lumbsch, with G. jamesii assigned as the type species. The three species transferred to the genus were originally placed in the large genus Pertusaria. Molecular phylogenetics showed that they belong to a lineage distinct from and unrelated to that genus, but with a sister group relationship to the genus Coccotrema. The genus name combines Gyalect- and -aria, taken from the generic name Pertusaria.
