Ostropales

Schriftflechte ( Graphis scripta )

The Ostropales are an order of ascomycetes ( Ascomycota ). Many academics are Flechtenbildner.

Features

The order of morphologically and ecologically contains very diverse lichen. As photobiont occurs predominantly to the genus Trentepohlia.

System

DNA sequence analyzes have shown that the earlier order Gyalectales is within the clade of Ostropales, and is therefore now considered one of the Ostropales. Equally, the representatives of the earlier orders Gomphillales, Graphidales and Trichoteliales are now included in this order. A cladogram is as follows:

Solorinellaceae

Thelotremataceae

Graphidaceae

Gyalectaceae

Coenogoniaceae

Phlyctidaceae

Stictidaceae

The Ostropales also to the families belonging Gomphillaceae and Porinaceae were not included in the investigation. The position of the Odontotremataceae is secured not by phylogenetic analyzes.

Eriksson 2006 lists the following families ( with selected genera and species ) to the Ostropales or Gyalectales and Trichoteliales:

  • Gyalectales Coenogoniaceae with two genera Coenogonium
  • Dimerella
  • Cryptolechia
  • Gyalecta
  • Gomphillaceae with 22 genera Calenia
  • Echinoplaca
  • Gomphillus
  • Gyalectidium
  • Tricharia
  • Acanthothecis
  • Anomalographis
  • Diorygma
  • Fissurina
  • Glyphis
  • Graphis Schriftflechte ( Graphis scripta )
  • Geltingia
  • Odontotrema
  • Rogellia
  • Thamnogalla
  • Xerotrema
  • Phaneromyces
  • Gyalidea
  • Solorinella
  • Acarosporina
  • Biostictis
  • Cryptodiscus
  • Lillicoa
  • Schizoxylon
  • Stictis
  • Ampliotrema
  • Myriotrema
  • Platygrapha
  • Polistroma
  • Thelotrema
  • Porinaceae with five genera Polycornum
