P. laceratula P. longispora Pseudotopeliopsis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae.
[2] The genus was circumscribed in 2012 by the lichenologists Sittiporn Parnmen, Robert Lücking, and H. Thorsten Lumbsch.
They assigned Pseudotopeliopsis laceratula as the type species; this lichen was originally named as a member of genus Thelotrema by Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1887.
These apothecia feature a disc that resembles a small pore and is covered by concentrically layered, fissured, and lobulated margins.
Pseudotopeliopsis is distinct from the closely related genus Chapsa primarily due to its denser cortex and the unique structure of its apothecia, which resemble those of the genus Topeliopsis with their striated tissue filling the disc–a distinctive structural feature that sets it apart from similar genera.
