The Arctomiaceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the Ascomycota, class Baeomycetales. [1] The family was named by Theodor Magnus Fries in 1861, with Arctomia as the type genus. [2] Species in this family are found in arctic and subarctic habitats, usually associated with bryophytes. [3]
The order Arctomiales was proposed by Soili Stenroos, Jolanta Miadlikowska, and François Lutzoni in 2014 to contain this family. [4] In 2018, the class Lecanoromycetes was revised using a temporal approach that uses time-calibrated chronograms to define temporal bands for comparable ranks for orders and families. In this work, the orders Arctomiales, Hymeneliales, and Trapeliales were synonymized with Baeomycetales. [5] In a subsequent review of the use of this method for biological classification of lichens, Robert Lücking considered this merge justified. [6] This synonymy was also accepted in later compilations of fungal classification, and Arctomiaceae is classified in the order Baeomycetales. [1] [7]
Genus Gabura was resurrected for use in 2020 and contains three species formerly placed in Arctomia. [8]
