About

Huriopsis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Physciaceae. The genus was established in 2021 through molecular phylogenetics analysis that revealed the polyphyletic nature of the traditional genus Rinodina. Species of Huriopsis are characterised by their distinctive golden-yellow thalli and the presence of xanthone pigments, particularly thiomelin.
