Catolechia is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Rhizocarpaceae. It is a monotypic genus,[2] containing the single species Catolechia wahlenbergii. The genus was circumscribed by German botanist Julius von Flotow in 1850.[3] He did not assign a type species for the genus; Catolechia pulchella A.Massal. (1852) was designated as the type by Gustav Wilhelm Körber in 1855.[4] This species is synonymous with Catolechia wahlenbergii.[5]
Several species that were originally described as a member of Catolechia have since been transferred to other genera. Examples include:
Catolechia flavovirescens Flot. (1849) = Arthrorhaphis citrinella
Catolechia glomerulans Müll.Arg. (1892) = Monerolechia glomerulans
Catolechia lactea A.Massal. (1852) = Buellia lactea
Catolechia marginulata Müll.Arg. (1892) = Buellia marginulata
Catolechia moriopsis A.Massal. (1852) = Orphniospora moriopsis
Catolechia pyxinoides Müll.Arg. (1861) = Pyxine pyxinoides
Catolechia subcoronata Müll.Arg. (1892) = Buellia subcoronata
Catolechia tenuis Müll.Arg. (1861) = Dimelaena tenuis
Catolechia wahlenbergii ß alpina (Schaer.) Flot. (1849) = Bellemerea alpina
