Laurera is a genus of fungi within the Trypetheliaceae family. [2]
It was known to have nearly 50 species at one point in time, but most have these have become synonyms for other species, within the Astrothelium and Bathelium genera (both still within the Trypetheliaceae family). [3]

The family Asteraceae, alternatively Compositae, consists of over 32,000 known species of flowering plants in over 1,900 genera within the order Asterales. Commonly referred to as the aster, daisy, composite, or sunflower family, Compositae were first described in the year 1740. The number of species in Asteraceae is rivaled only by the Orchidaceae, and which is the larger family is unclear as the quantity of extant species in each family is unknown.
The coscoroba swan is a species of waterfowl in subfamily Anserinae of the family Anatidae. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Uruguay, and the Falkland Islands.
The collared peccary is a species of artiodactyl (even-toed) mammal in the family Tayassuidae found in North, Central, and South America. It is the only member of the genus Dicotyles. They are commonly referred to as javelina, saíno, or báquiro, although these terms are also used to describe other species in the family. The species is also known as the musk hog. In Trinidad, it is colloquially known as quenk.
Heteroconchia is a taxonomic infraclass of saltwater clams, marine bivalve molluscs, belonging to the subclass Autobranchia
Helotiales is an order of the class Leotiomycetes within the division Ascomycota. The taxonomy within Helotiales has been debated. It has expanded significantly as genomic techniques for taxonomical identification have become more commonly used. As of February 2020, the order is estimated to contain 30 accepted families, 519 genera, and 6266 species.
An endangered species is a species that is very likely to become extinct in the near future, either worldwide or in a particular political jurisdiction. Endangered species may be at risk due to factors such as habitat loss, poaching and invasive species. The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List lists the global conservation status of many species, and various other agencies assess the status of species within particular areas. Many nations have laws that protect conservation-reliant species which, for example, forbid hunting, restrict land development, or create protected areas. Some endangered species are the target of extensive conservation efforts such as captive breeding and habitat restoration.
The Trypetheliaceae are a family of mainly lichen-forming fungi in the order Trypetheliales.
Aptrootia is a genus of fungi in the family Trypetheliaceae. It has three species. The genus was circumscribed by Robert Lücking and Harrie Sipman in 2007, with Aptrootia terricola assigned as the type species. This species, originally described by Dutch mycologist André Aptroot as a species of Thelenella, is known from Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica. Later molecular work showed that the species did not belong in Thelenella, but rather, in the Trypetheliaceae, with a sister taxon relationship to a branch including Bathelium and a lineage containing Trypethelium floridanum. The new genus name honours Aptroot, "in recognition of his numerous contributions to tropical lichenology".
Architrypethelium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Trypetheliaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1991 by Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot, with A. seminudum assigned as the type species. It is a segregate of genus Trypethelium.
Ascocratera is a genus of fungi within the Trypetheliaceae family. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Ascocratera manglicola.
Polymeridium is a genus of fungi in the family Trypetheliaceae. The genus was originally circumscribed as a section of the genus Arthopyrenia by Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1883. Richard Harris elevated it to generic status in 1980.
Trypetheliopsis is a genus of fungi within the Trypetheliaceae family. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Trypetheliopsis boninensis.
The Trypetheliales are an order of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. Most of the species in the order form lichens, although some are lichenicolous fungi. Trypetheliales contains two families, Polycoccaceae and Trypetheliaceae. The order was circumscribed in 2008 by lichenologists Robert Lücking, André Aptroot, and Harrie Sipman.
Johann Friedrich Laurer was a German anatomist, pharmacologist and lichenologist.
John Alan (Jack) Elix emeritus professor in chemistry at the Australian National University, is an organic chemist who has contributed in many fields: lichenology, lichen chemotaxonomy, plant physiology and biodiversity and natural product chemistry. He has authored 2282 species names, and 67 genera in the field of mycology.
Marcelaria is a genus of crustose lichens in the family Trypetheliaceae. It has three species. The genus was circumscribed in 2013 by André Aptroot, Matthew P. Nelsen, and Sittiporn Parnmen, with Marcelaria purpurina assigned as the type species. The genus contains species that were previously in the Laurera purpurina species group. Species in Marcelaria contain secondary compounds such as red, orange, and yellow anthraquinones, and sometimes lichexanthone. The genus name honours Brazilian lichenologist Marcela Cáceres.
Marcelaria benguelensis is a tropical species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) and crustose lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. It is found in continental southeast Asia.
Astrothelium zebrinum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. Found in Guyana, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected in a sclerophyllous forest near the airstrip of Kaieteur Falls National Park. Characteristics of the lichen include its fused ostioles, lack of lichen products, and ascospores that have seven septa and dimensions of 14–28 µm wide by 60–70 µm long.
Astrothelium subscoria is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. Found in Bolivia, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by lichenologists Adam Flakus and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected from lowland Amazon forest in the Puerto Feliz colony by Río Blanco at an altitude of 137 m (449 ft). It is only known to occur at the type locality. The species epithet refers to its resemblance to Astrothelium scoria, from which it differs in having in having non-aggregated ascomata.
Bathelium boliviense is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. Found in Bolivia, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by lichenologists Adam Flakus and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected from the Plan de Manejo AISU in the Ríos Blanco y Negro Wildlife Reserve, at an altitude of 242 m (794 ft); there, it was found growing on bark in a lowland Amazon rainforest. It is only known to occur in similar habitats near the type locality, and in islands of Amazon forest located within Beni savanna. The lichen is somewhat similar to Bathelium lineare, but unlike that species, B. boliviense contains isohypocrellin in its pseudostromata. This lichen product is quite rare in the family Trypetheliaceae, known to occur only in another two Bolivian Bathelium species.
