The Ophioparmaceae are a small family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Umbilicariales.[1] The family was circumscribed in 1988 by lichenologists Roderick Westgarth Rogers and H. Thorsten Lumbsch.[2]

Genera

[edit]

The type specimen of Rhizoplacopsis weichingii has been shown to be identical with that of Boreoplaca ultrafrigida, so the genus Rhizoplacopsis has been subsumed into Boreoplaca.[4]
