Koerberia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Koerberiaceae. [1]

The genus name of Koerberia is in honour of Gustav Wilhelm Körber (1817–1885), who was a German lichenologist. [2]

The genus was circumscribed by Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in Geneacaena vol.4 on page 6 in 1854.

Koerberiaceae is a small family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Peltigerales. It contains 3 genera and 9 species. The family was proposed by Toby Spribille and Lucia Muggia in 2012, after molecular phylogenetic analysis revealed the existence of three lineages of lichen-forming fungi in the suborder Peltigerineae of the order Peltigerales. The lineages represented the genera Steinera, Koerberia, and Vestergrenopsis. The latter genus was later folded into synonymy with Tingiopsidium.
