Lichenoverruculina
Lichenoverruculina is a fungal genus in the family Hyponectriaceae and order Amphisphaeriales. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Lichenoverruculina sigmatospora. which was published in Herzogia vol.24 on page 274 in 2011.
In a revision of lichenicolous fungi described by Spegazzini by botanists Etayo & Rosato in 2008, they proposed a new genus of Verruculina, unaware that this generic name was already used for an unrelated marine fungus group by Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer, as Verruculina.
The name Lichenoverruculina was then proposed to replace Verruculina.
Description
