Lazarenkoiopsis
genus of fungi
Lazarenkoiopsis is a single-species fungal genus in the family Teloschistaceae. It contains Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis, a corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen species found in the Russian Far East.
Taxonomy
The lichen was first described scientifically in 2011 by the lichenologists Alfred Oxner, Sergey Kondratyuk, and John Elix, as Caloplaca ussuriensis. The species name is derived from the Primorsky region's historical name, the Ussuriysk region. The taxon was transferred to the newly created genus Lazarenkoiopsis in 2020; it is its type and only species. The genus name honours Andrij Sozontovych Lazarenko (1901–1979), a Ukrainian bryologist. Lazarenkoiopsis is in the subfamily Caloplacoideae of the family Teloschistaceae.
Description
The thallus of Lazarenkoiopsis ussuriensis is 2–3 cm wide, thick and smooth, and can be distinctly cracked with broad cracks up to 0.07 mm wide. The areoles range from 0.5 to 2.5 mm in width. The upper surface is whitish, dull greyish-white to grey, or greenish grey-brown, with bright to dull yellow soralia.
The public source identifies “Lazarenkoiopsis” as genus of fungi. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Lazarenkoiopsis, genus and fungi.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Lazarenkoiopsis”, the useful work is to connect “genus of fungi” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated Feb 12, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q108894479. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2011, 2020, 1901 and 1979.
Current terminology should not be projected backward without checking the classification used when the underlying evidence was created. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
