Cladonia ahtii is a species of cup lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. It is found in Brazil, and grows in tropical moist broadleaf forests. The specific epithet honours Finnish lichenologist Teuvo Ahti.

Puttea is a genus of lichen-forming fungi with uncertain familial placement in the order Lecanorales. The genus comprises four species. Finnish lichenologists Soili Stenroos and Seppo Huhtinen established the genus Puttea in 2009 for the lichen species formerly known as Lecidea margaritella, which has undergone various reclassifications. Molecular phylogenetics analyses have shown that Puttea margaritella does not align closely with genera like Fellhanera or Micarea, but its precise familial placement remains uncertain. Puttea is characterized by an indistinct, lichenized thallus composed of

Pulchrocladia retipora, commonly known as the coral lichen, is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Cladoniaceae. Found predominantly in Australasia, its habitats range from the Australian Capital Territory to New Zealand's North and South Islands, and even the Pacific region of New Caledonia, where it grows in coastal and alpine heathlands. The lichen features coral-like branches and subbranches with numerous intricate, netlike perforations. It is known by multiple names, with some sources referring to it by its synonym Cladia retipora, or the common name lace lichen. The lichen was

Pulchrocladia is a small genus of fruticose lichens in the family Cladoniaceae. It has three species. The genus was established in 2018 when DNA studies revealed that the traditional genus Cladia contained several distinct evolutionary groups, leading scientists to separate them into different genera. These ground-dwelling lichens are found only in the Southern Hemisphere, particularly in Australia and New Zealand, where they form coral-like cushions with intricate lattice patterns in open heathlands, bogs, and coastal areas.

Rexiella is a small lichen genus in the family Cladoniaceae. The genus was originally established in 2018 but had to be renamed in 2019 because the original name conflicted with an earlier genus of cyanobacteria, with both names honouring Australian lichenologist Rex Filson. These shrubby lichens form upright, horn-like stalks that are riddled with window-like holes and have a distinctive dark grey to black interior filling, distinguishing them from similar-looking relatives.

Ovealmbornia is a monotypic genus of mostly foliose lichen species in the subfamily Xanthorioideae of the family Teloschistaceae. It now only contains one known species, Ovealmbornia reginae as others were classed as synonyms of other species in the same family. The genus was circumscribed by Sergei Yakovlevich Kondratyuk, Natalya M. Fedorenko, Soili Kristina Stenroos, Ingvar Kärnefelt, John Alan 'Jack' Elix and Arne Thell in Biblioth. Lichenol. vol.100 on page 75 in 2009. The genus name of Ovealmbornia is in honour of Ove Almborn (1914-1992), who was a Swedish (university training-)teacher,

Martinjahnsia is a single-species fungal genus in the family Teloschistaceae. It contains the sole species Martinjahnsia resendei, a saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen.

Joergensenia is a fungal genus in the family Pannariaceae. It comprises a single species, Joergensenia cephalodina, which is a corticolous (bark-dwelling), squamulose lichen found in southern South America.

Honeggeria is a single-species fungal genus in the family Teloschistaceae. It contains the species Honeggeria rosmarieae, a corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen found in the United States. Characteristic features of the lichen include its isidia-like soredia, rhizines that are relatively broad and short, slender ascospores, and a rudimentary true exciple with a textura intricata tissue structure.

Gallowayella weberi is a species of corticolous and saxicolous (bark- and rock-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. Recorded from the eastern and central United States, it is a small lichen with a smooth yellow to orange upper surface and a contrasting white lower surface. It was previously placed in the genus Xanthomendoza and appears in older literature as Xanthomendoza weberi. Herbarium records indicate that it is widespread across the eastern and central United States, with its centre of distribution in the coastal plain of the Southeast, where it grows on bark, rock,

Carassea is a fungal genus in the family Cladoniaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 2002 by the Finnish lichenologist Soili Stenroos. A monotypic genus, Carassea contains the single species Carassea connexa, a fruticose lichen. This species, originally named Cladonia connexa, was first documented by Edvard August Vainio, who collected specimens from Minas Gerais, Brazil, in 1885, and published a description of the species in the first of his three-volume Monographia Cladoniarum universalis. The Cladoniaceae genera most closely related to Carassea include Pycnothelia and Metus.
