  • Lilliputeana Sérus. (1989)

Taxonomy

The genus was reinstated by Antonin Vězda in 1978 to contain crustose lichens with immarginate apothecia, gelatinized, branched and anastomosing paraphyses, eight-spored, usually Lecanora-type asci, and hyaline, multi-septate ascospores.[3]

Scoliciosporum was originally placed in the family Micareaceae by Josef Poelt in 1974.[4] This classification was rejected after the appearance of molecular phylogenetic studies in the mid-2000s.[5][6]

Habitat and distribution

Scoliciosporum species grow mainly on bark, stones and leaves. They occur mostly in temperate locales.[7]
