Menegazzia hollermayeri
species of fungus
Menegazzia hollermayeri is a species of foliose lichen found in southern South America. It was first formally described as a new species in 1937 by Finnish lichenologist Veli Räsänen, who included it in genus Parmelia. The type specimen was collected from Chile by R. P. Atanasio Hollermayer, after whom the lichen is named. Rolf Santesson transferred the taxon to Menegazzia in 1942.

Why this record matters
The phrase “species of fungus” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 15, 2022. The linked authority identifier is Q6816826. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1937 and 1942.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. 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.
