Synonyms

Thelenellaceae is a family of lichen-forming fungi. It is the sole family in the monotypic order Thelenellales, and contains three genera and about 50 species.[1]

Taxonomy

The family was initially proposed by Ove Erik Eriksson, and later formally published by Helmut Mayrhofer in 1987.[2] The order Thelenellales, containing only family Thelenellaceae, was proposed by H. Thorsten Lumbsch and Steven Leavitt in 2018.[3] However, the taxon was not validly published because "an identifier issued by a recognized repository was not cited in the protologue", contrary to rules of botanical nomenclature.[4] This nomenclatural oversight was rectified later the same year in a separate publication.[5]

Description

Lichens in the family are typically crustose or areolate, and grow on bark or on rocks. They have ascomata in the form of thick-walled, pale to dark brown perithecia. Collectively, the species in the family have a widespread distribution.[6]

Genera

This is a list of the genera in the Thelenellaceae, based on a 2021 review and summary of fungal classification by Wijayawardene and colleagues.[1] Following the genus name is the taxonomic authority (those who first circumscribed the genus; standardized author abbreviations are used), year of publication, and the number of species:
