Biatorellaceae is a family of lichen-forming fungi in the subclass Lecanoromycetidae. The family is monotypic, and contains the single genus Biatorella,[1] which contains eight species.
Species in the genus have a cosmopolitan distribution,[2] they are also found in northern temperate regions, especially in Europe.[3] but also in tropical Central America, Africa and Asia (such as India[4]).[2] As well as Australia.[5]
Systematics[edit]
The family is classified as incertae sedis with respect to ordinal placement in the Lecanoromycetidae, as there is no reliable molecular data available to establish phylogenetic relationships with similar taxa.[6]
Genus Biatorella was circumscribed by Italian botanist Giuseppe De Notaris in 1846, with Biatorella rousselii assigned as the type species.[7] The family Biatorellaceae was originally proposed by French lichenologist Maurice Choisy in 1949,[8] but he did not publish the name validly.[9] Josef Hafellner and Manuel Casares published the name validly in 1992.[10]
Description[edit]
Biatorellaceae species are crustose lichens with a chlorococcoid photobiont partner (i.e., green algae of the genus Chlorococcum). The lichens have ascomata in the form of biatorine apothecia, which often have a reduced margin around the edge. Ascospores are ellipsoid to roughly spherical in shape, hyaline, and non-amyloid. Biatorella lichens grow on soil or bark.[11]
Species[edit]
As of November 2021[update], Species Fungorum accepts eight species of Biatorella:[12]

- Biatorella consanguinea (Stirt.) Zahlbr. (1927)
- Biatorella desmaspora (C.Knight) Hellb. (1896)
- Biatorella epiphysa (Stirt.) Hellb. (1896)
- Biatorella fossarum (Dufour) Th.Fr. (1874)
- Biatorella hemisphaerica Anzi (1860)[14]
- Biatorella rousselii De Not. (1846)
- Biatorella saxicola Aptroot & Sipman (2001)[15] – Hong Kong
