Species



Serusiauxiella is a genus of leaf-dwelling lichens in the family Strigulaceae. It has three species, all of which are found in wet tropical forests in China.[1] The genus was circumscribed in 2020 by Shu-Hua Jiang, Robert Lücking, and Jiang-Chu Wei, with assigned as the type species. The genus name honours Belgian lichenologist Emmanuël Sérusiaux, "in recognition of his important contributions to lichenology, foliicolous lichens and the genus Strigula".[2]

The three species in the genus are characterised by having macroconidia with appendages that rapidly elongate (up to 70 μm) after waiting up to 1 hour in microscope slide preparations called squash mounts. The photobiont partner is a green alga of the genus Trentepohlia. This is unlike the related genus Strigula, which has Cephaleuros as the photobiont.[2]
