Aplanocalenia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Aplanocalenia inconspicua.

Arthotheliopsis is a genus of fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. It has 5 species. The genus was circumscribed by Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio in 1896, with A. hymenocarpoides assigned as the type species.

Diploschistella is a genus of fungi within the family Gomphillaceae.

Ferraroa is a single-species genus in the family Gomphillaceae. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Ferraroa hyalina, a foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen. This species was originally described by Robert Lücking in 1997 as Gyalideopsis hyalina. The type specimen was collected from leaves of Inga oerstediana in Costa Rica. Lücking, Emmanuël Sérusiaux, and Antonín Vězda transferred the taxon to the newly circumscribed genus Ferraroa in 2005 after molecular phylogenetic analysis showed it to belong to a unique lineage. The generic name Ferraroa honours Argentinian lichenologist Lidia Itatí Ferraro, "for her many contributions to lichenology in southern South America, and to our knowledge of Gomphillaceae".

Gomphillus is a genus of lichens within the Gomphillaceae family.

Gyalectidium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. A 2020 estimates placed 52 species in the genus. The genus was circumscribed by Swiss lichenologist Johannes Müller Argoviensis in 1881. He included 3 species: G. xantholeucum, G. dispersum, and G. filicinum; the last of these is now the type species of the genus.

Hippocrepidea is a genus of fungi within the Gomphillaceae family. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Hippocrepidea nigra.

Jamesiella is a genus of fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. The type species of the genus, Jamesiella anastomosans, is now classified in the genus Gyalideopsis.

Rubrotricha is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Gomphillaceae. It is a monospecific genus, containing the single species Rubrotricha helminthospora.

Aptrootia is a genus of fungi in the family Trypetheliaceae. It has three species. The genus was circumscribed by Robert Lücking and Harrie Sipman in 2007, with Aptrootia terricola assigned as the type species. This species, originally described by Dutch mycologist André Aptroot as a species of Thelenella, is known from Papua New Guinea and Costa Rica. Later molecular work showed that the species did not belong in Thelenella, but rather, in the Trypetheliaceae, with a sister taxon relationship to a branch including Bathelium and a lineage containing Trypethelium floridanum. The new genus name honours Aptroot, "in recognition of his numerous contributions to tropical lichenology".

Rolueckia is a genus of leaf-dwelling lichens in the family Gomphillaceae. It was circumscribed in 2008 by Thai lichenologists Khwanruan Papong, Achra Thammathaworn, and Kansri Boonpragob. The three species in the genus were formerly part of the Calenia conspersa group, previously part of the genus Calenia. The type species, Rolueckia conspersa, was first described as Thelotrema conspersum by James Stirton in 1879.

<i>Gyalideopsis buckii</i> Species of lichen

Gyalideopsis buckii is a species of bark-dwelling lichen in the family Gomphillaceae. It is found in the United States.

Arthotheliopsis serusiauxii is a species of leaf-dwelling lichen in the family Gomphillaceae. It was first formally described as a new species in 1997 by Robert Lücking, as a member of genus Echinoplaca. The type specimen was collected in Costa Rica, growing on the leaves of a dicotyledon. The specific epithet honours Belgian lichenologist Emmanuël Sérusiaux. In 2005, Lücking, Sérusiaux, and Antonín Vězda transferred it to genus Arthotheliopsis after a molecular analysis of the Gomphillaceae helped to clarify the phylogenetic relationships in the family.
