About
Paratricharia is a single-species fungal genus in the family Gomphillaceae. It is monotypic, containing the single species Paratricharia paradoxa, a foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen. A two-gene molecular study published in 2024 showed that the genus sits in the Aulaxina clade and forms a strongly supported sister lineage to Caleniopsis, well away from Tricharia and the other "black-setae" genera Microxyphiomyces and Santricharia.
