Biatorellaceae is a family of lichen-forming fungi in the subclass Lecanoromycetidae. The family is monotypic, and contains the single genus Biatorella,[1] which contains eight species. Species in the genus are found in northern temperate regions, especially in Europe.[2]

Systematics[]

The family is classified as incertae sedis with respect to ordinal placement in the Lecanoromycetidae, as there is no reliable molecular data available to establish phylogenetic relationships with similar taxa.[3]

Genus Biatorella was circumscribed by Italian botanist Giuseppe De Notaris in 1846, with assigned as the type species.[4] The family Biatorellaceae was originally proposed by French lichenologist Maurice Choisy in 1949,[5] but he did not publish the name validly.[6] Josef Hafellner and Manuel Casares published the name validly in 1992.[7]

Description[]

Biatorellaceae species are crustose lichens with a chlorococcoid photobiont partner (i.e., green algae of the genus Chlorococcum). The lichens have ascomata in the form of biatorine apothecia, which often have a reduced margin around the edge. Ascospores are ellipsoid to roughly spherical in shape, hyaline, and non-amyloid. Biatorella lichens grow on soil or bark.[8]

Species[]

As of November 2021, Species Fungorum accepts eight species of Biatorella:[9]

  • Räsänen (1949)[10]
  • (Stirt.) Zahlbr. (1927)
  • (C.Knight) Hellb. (1896)
  • (Stirt.) Hellb. (1896)
  • (Dufour) Th.Fr. (1874)
  • Anzi (1860)[11]
  • De Not. (1846)
  • Aptroot & Sipman (2001)[12] – Hong Kong
