Opegraphaceae is a family of lichen-forming and lichenicolous fungi in the order Arthoniales.^[1] It was originally proposed by German lichenologist Ernst Stizenberger in 1862.^[2] It fell into disuse, but was resurrected in a molecular phylogenetic study of the order Arthoniales published in 2010. It now includes taxa that were previously referred to the family Roccellaceae, its sister group.^[3]

Description[]

Most taxa in the family have a crustose thallus, although in rare cases it is fruticose. The lichens typically grow on bark, wood, or rocks. Some members, such as those in the genus , grow on leaves. The family has a cosmopolitan distribution, but is predominant in tropical and semi-arid subtropical regions. The photobiont partner of Opegraphaceae is a member of the green algal genus Trentepohlia.^[4]

A variety of secondary chemicals have been identified in this family. The most common types are depsides, depsidones, dibenzofurans, and anthraquinones.^[4]

Genera[]

As of March 2021, Species Fungorum accepts 15 genera and 167 species in the family Opegraphaceae.^[5] This is a list of the genera in the Opegraphaceae based on a 2020 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:

Combea De Not. (1846) – 2 spp.
Cresponea Egea & Torrente (1993)^[6] – 22 spp.
Dictyographa Müll.Arg. (1893) – 2 spp.
Dolichocarpus R.Sant. (1949)^[7] – 2 spp.
Trevis. (1880) – 4 spp.
Ingaderia Darb. (1897)^[8] – 3 spp.
Nyungwea Sérus., Eb.Fisch. & Killmann (2006) – 3
Opegrapha Ach. (1809) (= Alstrup & D.Hawksw.) – ca. 100 + ca. 200 orphaned
Ertz & Tehler (2011)^[3] – 1 sp.
Paralecanographa Ertz & & Tehler (2011)^[3] – 1 sp.
Ertz & Tehler (2011)^[3] – 1 sp.
Pentagenella Darb. (1897) – 5 spp.
Schizopelte Th.Fr. (1875)^[9] – 4 spp.
Sclerophyton Eschw. (1824) – ca. 15 spp.
Ertz & Tehler (2011)^[3] – 2 spp.
