Clypeopyrenis
Clypeopyrenis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Pyrenulaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed in 1991 by Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot, with Clypeopyrenis microsperma assigned as the type species.[2] This lichen, originally described from material collected in Costa Rica, is also found in the Caribbean and South America. Clypeopyrenis porinoides was added to the genus in 2011; it was discovered in Costa Rica, close to the type locality of the type species.[3]
