A large-scale phylogenetic revision of Roccellaceae (Arthoniales) reveals eight new genera
Fungal Diversity, 2014A two-locus phylogenetic hypothesis of the family Roccellaceae is presented based on data from the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nucLSU) and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2). This analysis includes 341 sequences (166 newly generated) and 180 specimens representing about 114 species.

New combinations in Ancistrosporella (Roccellaceae, Arthoniales)
Phytotaxa, 2018Opegrapha leucophila and O. onchospora, two species of lichen-forming fungi originally described from Colombia, are newly combined in the genus Ancistrosporella because of their paraphysoids with enlarged and brown apices and their ascospores that lack a gelatinous sheath and have one end curved to hooked. Lectotypes are designated for O.

Origin, evolution and taxonomy of American Roccella (Roccellaceae, Ascomycetes)
Systematics and Biodiversity, 2009Abstract The phylogeny and taxonomy of four American Roccella species are presented: R. bajasurensis (newly described here), R. decipiens, R. gracilis and R. verruculosa. A key to all nine American Roccella species is also presented. The data from four molecular markers, RPB2, nuLSU, ITS 1 and 2 and an anonymous locus showed that the specimens of what ...
