Graphidaceae
The Graphidaceae are a family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Graphidales. The family contains nearly a hundred genera and more than 2000 species. Although the family has a cosmopolitan distribution, most Graphidaceae species occur in tropical regions, and typically grow on bark. Taxonomy Graphidaceae was originally proposed by French botanist Barthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortier in 1822 (as "Graphineae"). '' Graphis'', '' Opegrapha'', and '' Arthonia'' were included in the new family. In 2002, the German lichenologist Bettina Staiger revised the Graphidaceae in a monograph, proposing a new classification of genera that was widely accepted until molecular phylogenetic studies led to a further reorganization of the family. Two subfamilies are recognized in the Graphidaceae: *Fissurinoideae *Graphidoideae Subfamily Redonographoideae, proposed by Lücking and colleagues in 2013, has since been promoted to familial status (as the monogeneric family Redonographaceae).

Graphidales
Graphidales is an order (biology), order of lichen-forming fungi in the class Lecanoromycetes. It contains 6 family (biology), families, about 81 genus, genera and about 2,228 species. Family Graphidaceae are the largest crustose family within Graphidales order comprising more than 2000 species, which are widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. History The Graphidales were introduced in a 1884 publication by Frigyes Ákos Hazslinszky in Magyar Birodalom Zuzmó-Flórája on page 216 as family Graphideae. In 1907, they were established as an Order (biology), order by American botanist Charles Edwin Bessey, Bessey (1845–1915), When the order was introduced, it contained just two families, the Graphidaceae and Thelotremataceae who were both mainly tropical based and each family had about 800–1000 species. Sherwood in 1977 proposed to maintain a distinction between the Graphidales with mostly lichenised members and the Ostropales which included mostl ...

Fissurina
''Fissurina'' is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Graphidaceae. It has about 160 species, most of which are found in tropical regions. Taxonomy The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by the French botanist Antoine Laurent Apollinaire Fée in an 1825 publication. Some later authors preferred to use the name ''Fissurina'' to describe infrageneric (i.e., below genus level) groups of the genus ''Graphis (lichen), Graphis'', such as Edvard Vainio in 1921 who used it as a subgenus, and Alexander Zahlbruckner (1923) and Karl Redinger (1935), who used the name for section (botany), sections. ''Fissurina'' is in the family Graphidaceae. In 2018, Kraichak and colleagues, using a "temporal phylogenetic" approach to identify temporal bands for specific taxonomic ranks, proposed placing ''Fissurina'' as the type genus of Fissurinaceae, a family originally proposed by Brendan P. Hodkinson in 2012. This taxonomic proposal was rejected by Robert Lücking in a critical ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
