Synonyms[1]

Tetramelas pulverulentus is a species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Caliciaceae.[2] It was originally described as a new species by Martino Anzi in 1860. The type specimen was collected in Italy.[3] Swedish lichenologists Anders Nordin and Leif Tibell transferred it to the genus Tetramelas in 2005 based on molecular phylogenetic analysis.[4] It is closely related to Tetramelas phaeophysciae but differs from that species in its ascospores, which have three septa.[4]
