Lichenicolous fungi represent a highly specialized and successful group of organisms that live exclusively on lichens, most commonly as host-specific parasites, but also broad-spectrum pathogens, saprotrophs or commensals. We present here the recent update to classification lichenicolous in Ascomycota Basidiomycota genus level, arranged phylogenetically according published classifications. For each genus, all known taxa (obligately taxa, facultatively taxa) are listed, along with information about types, synonyms, pertinent literature whether not molecular data available for any listed species. The number accepted is now 2319, 2000 obligately species, subspecies varieties, 257 lichens 62 taxa. These species found 10 different classes Fungi (Ascomycota Basidiomycota), 55 orders, 115 families 397 genera. 2319 total an increase from 1559 reported last catalogue 2003, larger than approximately 1800 online checklist (www.lichenicolous.net) posted January 2018.

We reply to two recently published, multi-authored opinion papers by opponents of sequence-based nomenclature, namely Zamora et al. (IMA Fungus 9: 167–175, 2018) and Thines 177–183, 2018). While we agree with some the principal arguments brought forward these authors, address misconceptions demonstrate that presumed evidence presented in has been wrongly interpreted. disagree allowing sequences as types would fundamentally alter nature types, since a similar abstracted features type is already allowed Code (Art. 40.5), an illustration. also there high risk introducing artifactual taxa, this can be quantified at well below 5 %, considering various high-throughput sequencing errors. Contrary apparently widespread misconceptions, nomenclature cannot based on similarity-derived OTUs their consensus sequences, but must derived from rigorous, multiple alignment-based phylogenetic methods quantitative, single-marker species recognition algorithms, using original sequence reads; it therefore identical its approach studies physical Code. recognize limitations ITS single fungal barcoding marker, point out result conservative approach, 'false negatives" surpassing "false positives"; desirable feature nomenclature. Sequence-based does not aim accurately resolving species, naming represent unknown lineages so serve means communication, ending untenable situation exponentially growing number unlabeled fill online repositories. The risks are outweighed gains obtained reference library named spanning full array diversity. Finally, elaborate provisions addition our proposal amend take care issues approach. In particular, taking up idea Candidatus status invalid, provisional names prokaryote propose compromise allow valid publication voucherless, consistent manner, obligate designation "nom. seq."
