Stictographa – Facesoffungi number: FoF 07617

Stictographa Mudd, Man. Brit. Lich.: 226 (1861).

MycoBank number: MB 5238; Index Fungorum number: IF 5238; Facesoffungi number: FoF 07617; 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2020), 1 species with molecular data.

Type species: Stictographa lentiginosa (Lyell ex Leight.) Mudd.

Notes: Stictographa can be compared with Labrocarpon in having lichenicolous, black, simple to occasionally short, branched, lirelliform ascomata with a slit-like opening (Ertz and Diederich 2015; Diederich et al. 2017). Ertz and Diederich (2015) inferred that Stictographa and Labrocarpon might be synonyms, however, they do not phylogenetically cluster together (Ertz and Diederich 2015; Dai et al. 2018). Thus, Labrocarpon is accepted as a distinct genus. More collections and species of these genera are needed to clarify their relationship.
