Brownliella is a genus of crustose lichens in the subfamily Teloschistoideae of the family Teloschistaceae.[1] It has two species.[2] The genus was circumscribed in 2013 by Sergey Kondratyuk, Ingvar Kärnefelt, John Elix, Arne Thell, and Jae-Seoun Hur, with the widely distributed lichen Brownliella aequata assigned as the type species. The genus contains species formerly referred to as the Caloplaca cinnabarina species group. The generic name honours Australian botanist Sue Brownlie.[3]

Species

Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) include two species in genus Brownliella:[2]

  • Brownliella aequata (Zahlbr.) S.Y.Kondr., Kärnefelt, Elix, A.Thell & Hur (2013)
  • Brownliella kobeana (Nyl.) S.Y.Kondr., Kärnefelt, A.Thell, Elix, Jung Kim, A.S.Kondr. & Hur (2015)

Two species formerly placed in theis genus, Brownliella montisfracti and Brownliella cinnabarina, have since been transferred to Neobrownliella.[4]
