Single-species lichen genus

Ferraroa Scientific classification Kingdom: Fungi Division: Ascomycota Class: Lecanoromycetes Order: Graphidales Family: Gomphillaceae Genus: Ferraroa Lücking, Sérus. & Vězda (2005) Species: F. hyalina Binomial name Ferraroa hyalina (Lücking) Lücking, Sérus. & Vězda (2005) Synonyms Gyalideopsis hyalina Lücking (1997)

***Ferraroa*** is a single-species [genus](/source/Genus) in the family [Gomphillaceae](/source/Gomphillaceae). It is a [monotypic](/source/Monotypic) genus,[1] containing the single species ***Ferraroa hyalina***, a [foliicolous](/source/Foliicolous_lichen) (leaf-dwelling) [lichen](/source/Lichen). This species was originally described by [Robert Lücking](/source/Robert_L%C3%BCcking) in 1997 as *Gyalideopsis hyalina*. The [type specimen](/source/Type_(biology)) was collected from leaves of *[Inga oerstediana](/source/Inga_oerstediana)* in Costa Rica.[2] Lücking, [Emmanuël Sérusiaux](/source/Emmanu%C3%ABl_S%C3%A9rusiaux), and [Antonín Vězda](/source/Anton%C3%ADn_V%C4%9Bzda) transferred the [taxon](/source/Taxon) to the newly circumscribed genus *Ferraroa* in 2005 after [molecular phylogenetic](/source/Molecular_phylogenetic) analysis showed it to belong to a unique lineage. The generic name *Ferraroa* honours Argentinian lichenologist Lidia Itatí Ferraro, "for her many contributions to lichenology in southern South America, and to our knowledge of Gomphillaceae".[3]
