C. carneopruinata C. crozalsiana C. inhaminensis C. schelpei C. scrobicularis Crespoa is a genus of five species of lichen in the family Parmeliaceae.
Species in this genus are characterized by having an upper thallus surface that is wrinkled and reticulately ridged to coarsely foveolate (having small pits or depressions).
[2] Species in Crespoa were originally considered part of the Parmelia crozalsiana group, united by similarities in the morphology of their vegetative thallus.
"[1] In a later analysis, this subgenus was promoted to status as a distinct genus, due to both differences in thallus morphology, and its significant genetic distance from Parmotrema.
[9] The genus name Crespoa honours Spanish lichenologist Ana Crespo, "in recognition of the lead she has taken in rationalizing generic and specific concepts in the parmelioid lichens using molecular phylogenetic approaches.
