Leptochidium is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Massalongiaceae.[1] It has two species:
- Leptochidium albociliatum (Desm.) M.Choisy (1952)
- Leptochidium crenatulum (Nyl.) P.M.Jørg. (2006)
The genus was circumscribed by French lichenologist Maurice Choisy in 1952.[2] Leptochidium remained monotypic until 2006, when Per Magnus Jørgensen transferred into it a species originally named Leptogium rivulare var. crenatulum by William Nylander.[3]
