Gymnographopsis

Gymnographopsis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Redonographaceae.

It was circumscribed by American botanist, mycologist, and lichenologist Carroll William Dodge in 1967, with Gymnographopsis chilena assigned as the type species.

History
It was originally placed within the Graphidaceae family and subfamily Redonographoideae..

Molecular clock analysis indicates that Redonographoideae diverged from Graphidoideae subfamily about 132 million years ago (Ma) in the Early Cretaceous age.

However, Kraichak et al. in 2018, ranked Graphidales as a separate order based on a temporal approach, and accepted five separate families; Diploschistaceae, Fissurinaceae, Gomphillaceae, Graphidaceae and Thelotremataceae. Wijayawardene et al. 2020 agreed but also added family Redonographaceae to the order, which included Gymnographopsis.
