Paraporpidia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Lecideaceae. It has three species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichens.[1][2] The genus was circumscribed by Gerhard Rambold and M. Pietschmann in 1989, with Paraporpidia aboriginum assigned as the type species.[3]
Species[edit]
- Paraporpidia aboriginum Rambold (1989)
- Paraporpidia glauca (Taylor) Rambold (1989)
- Paraporpidia leptocarpa (Nyl.) Rambold & Hertel (1989)
A fourth species, Paraporpidia neotropica, was proposed by André Aptroot and Felix Schumm in 2023. It occurs in Brazil.[4]
