Seirophora

Seirophora is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Teloschistaceae. It has eight species.^[2] The genus was circumscribed by German lichenologist Josef Poelt in 1983, with Seirophora magara assigned as the type species.^[3] Several species were transferred to Seirophora in 2004 when the genus was emended by Patrik Frödén and Per Lassen to include some species segregated from Teloschistes.^[4]
