Abstract
The new genus Tassiloa, proposed for the American Caloplaca digitaurea-group, is supported by phylogenetic analyses based on ITS and LSU nrDNA-sequences, and 12S SSU mtDNA- sequences. The genus is positioned in the Catenarina-clade in the subfamily Teloschistoideae of the family Teloschistaceae. The genus Tassiloa is described and compared with closely related genera. Two new combinations are proposed, Tassiloa digitaurea and T. wetmorei.
