The genus name of Poeltiaria is in honour of Josef Poelt (1924-1995), who was a German-Austrian botanist (Bryology, Mycology and Lichenology) and was Professor of Systematic Botany at the Free University of Berlin in 1965.[3]

Species

  • Poeltiaria coppinsiana Hertel (2014)[4]
  • Poeltiaria coromandelica (Zahlbr.) Rambold & Hertel (1989)
  • Poeltiaria corralensis (Räsänen) Hertel (1984)
  • Poeltiaria howickensis (Vain.) Rambold & Haiduk (1989)
  • Poeltiaria tasmanica Fryday (2014)[4]
  • Poeltiaria turgescens (Körb.) Hertel (1984)
  • Poeltiaria urbanskyana (Zahlbr.) Hertel (1984)

The taxon once occupying the name Poeltiaria subcontinua (Nyl.) Hertel & Fryday (2014) has since been transferred to the monotypic genus Notolecidea, as Notolecidea subcontinua.[5]
