Graphidales Genera
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 ...

Pallidogramme Chrysenteron
''Pallidogramme'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae. It has 8 species of corticolous lichen, corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichens. Taxonomy ''Pallidogramme'' was proposed in 2008 by the lichenologists Bettina Staiger, Klaus Kalb, and Robert Lücking, as a replacement name for ''Leucogramma'' . The justification for this change originated from the previously established ''Hemithecium'' subgen. ''Leucogramma'' by Staiger in 2002. There was, however, a pre-existing generic name, ''Leucogramma'' , which was based on the same species as Staiger's subgenus, ''Hemithecium chrysenteron''. Both of these names were unusable at the genus level due to their Homonym (biology), homonymy with ''Leucogramma'' a name with unknown taxonomy (biology), taxonomic affinity. As a result, a new name was deemed necessary to avoid confusion and maintain nomenclatural clarity. Description The defining features of genus ''Pallidogramme'' include a crustose lichen, cr ...
