Lecanographa is a genus of about 20 species of lichens in the family Lecanographaceae. These lichens typically form thin, extensive crusts that can be chalk-white, grey, or pale green, with dark brown to black reproductive structures that are often covered in a dense frosting (pruina) of white, bluish, or greyish crystals. Established as a genus in 1994 by José M. Egea and Pilar Torrente, the lichens are characterized by their partnership with orange-tinged filamentous algae and their production of slender, spindle-shaped spores with multiple cross-walls that are wrapped in a gelatinous outer

Llimonaea is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the order Arthoniales. The genus has been placed into the family Opegraphaceae.

Established as a genus in 1991, Llimonaea species are distinguished by their partnership with orange-tinged green algae, their spindle-shaped spores with multiple cross-walls that gradually turn brown with age, and their

Bactrospora brodoi is a corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen of uncertain family placement in the order Arthoniales. Described in 1993 by José María Egea and Pilar Torrente and named for the Canadian lichenologist Irwin M. Brodo, it forms a very thin, mostly immersed pale film with tiny black, rimless discs and produces very slender, many-celled ascospores; a conspicuous asexual stage with larger pycnidia is frequent in Fennoscandia and parts of eastern Canada. The species is rare and boreal, known from eastern Canada and Fennoscandia, with a doubtful outlier reported from coastal

Bactrospora arthonioides is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen of uncertain familial placement in the order Arthoniales. It was first discovered in 1993 from specimens collected in Tasmania's Gordon River gorge, where it grows on the bark of large trees in sheltered rainforest valleys. The species is characterised by its very thin fruiting body margins and distinctive thread-like ascospores that are narrowed at one end. While originally known only from Tasmania, it has since been found in New Zealand.
