Ancistrosporella is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Roccellaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed in 1995 by Swedish lichenologist Göran Thor, with Ancistrosporella australiensis assigned as the type species.[2] The International Union for Conservation of Nature has classified A. leucophila as a Critically Endangered species due to its limited known distribution in South America and the threats to its habitat from deforestation and land-use changes.[3]
Species
[edit]As of September 2024[update], Species Fungorum accepts six species of Ancistrosporella:[4]
- Ancistrosporella australiensis (G.Thor) G.Thor (1995)
- Ancistrosporella curvata (Aptroot) Komposch (2002)
- Ancistrosporella gracilior (Nyl.) Lücking (2021)
- Ancistrosporella leucophila (Nyl.) Ertz (2018)
- Ancistrosporella onchospora (Nyl.) Ertz (2018)
The species A. psoromica, originally described from Venezuela in 2002,[5] was reduced to synonymy with A. leucophila by Damien Ertz in 2018 due to morphological and chemical similarities.[6]
