Arctomiaceae

Summary

The Arctomiaceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the Ascomycota, class Baeomycetales.[1] The family was named by Theodor Magnus Fries in 1861, with Arctomia as the type genus.[2] Species in this family are found in arctic and subarctic habitats, usually associated with bryophytes.[3]

Classification edit

The order Arctomiales was proposed by Soili Stenroos, Jolanta Miadlikowska, and François Lutzoni in 2014 to contain this family.[4] In 2018, the class Lecanoromycetes was revised using a temporal approach that uses time-calibrated chronograms to define temporal bands for comparable ranks for orders and families. In this work, the orders Arctomiales, Hymeneliales, and Trapeliales were synonymized with Baeomycetales.[5] In a subsequent review of the use of this method for biological classification of lichens, Robert Lücking considered this merge justified.[6] This synonymy was also accepted in later compilations of fungal classification, and Arctomiaceae is classified in the order Baeomycetales.[1][7]

Genera edit

Genus Gabura was resurrected for use in 2020 and contains three species formerly placed in Arctomia.[8]
