in 1940, with ''Moelleropsis nebulosa'' assigned as its type species. Using molecular phylogenetics, it was later shown that this taxon was nested within ''Fuscopannaria''. Because ''Moelleropsis'' was published earlier than ''Fuscopannaria'', the botanical rules for nomenclature indicated that ''Fuscopannaria'' be folded into synonymy with ''Moelleropsis''. However, this would have meant that several dozen species would have had to change their names, so, in order to preserve "nomenclatural stability", in 2013 Jørgensen and colleagues proposed to
