Tephromelataceae
The Tephromelataceae are a family of lichenized fungi in the order Lecanorales. The family was circumscribed by Austrian lichenologist Josef Hafellner in 1984.[2] Tephromelataceae comprises the genera Tephromela, Calvitimela, Mycoblastus and Violella, which together constitute a well-supported monophyletic group.[3][4]

The family Mycoblastaceae, proposed by Hafellner to contain the genus Mycoblastus, was also published in the same 1984 publication;[2] it was later placed into synonymy with Tephromelataceae. The latter name takes precedence because of its first adopted use.[3]
Genera
Tephromelataceae contains 4 genera and about 53 species. This is a list of the genera contained within the Tephromelataceae; following the genus name is the taxonomic authority, year of publication, and the number of species:[5]
- Calvitimela Hafellner (2001) – 11 spp.
- Mycoblastus Norman (1852) – 10 spp.
- Tephromela M.Choisy (1929) – ca. 30 spp.
- Violella T.Sprib. (2011) – 2 spp.
