Sedelnikovaea resembles Protoparmeliopsis, and has a thallus that is placodioid (crustose at the centre and lobed at the periphery), and rosette-like. It has, however, a unique different ascus structure, and it is genetically distinct from Protoparmeliopsis. The genus name honours Russian lichenologist Nellia Vasiljevna Sedelnikova, "in recognition of her contribution to our knowledge of Asian lichen flora".^[1]
