Myriolecis

Myriolecis is a genus of lichen in the family Lecanoraceae.

It was originally circumscribed in 1909 by Frederic E. Clements with Myriolecis sambuci as the type species.

[2] The genus was later reinstated to accommodate the Lecanora disperse group and Arctopeltis.

Molecular phylogenetic data showed that this group of species formed a clade that is genetically distinct from Lecanora,[3][1] and Myriolecis was the oldest name available to hold these species.
