Speerschneidera is a single-species genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Leprocaulaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed by Italian botanist Vittore Benedetto Antonio Trevisan de Saint-Léon in 1861, with Speerschneidera euploca as the type species.[2] This lichen was originally described by Edward Tuckerman in 1858 as Physcia euploca.[3] It is a crustose lichen found in the southern United States and Mexico.[4]
The genus name Speerschneidera honours German doctor, teacher and naturalist Julius Ferdinand Speerschneider (1825–1903). He worked as a curator of Frederick Charles, Prince of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt's natural history collection which later became the Natural History Museum in Rudolstadt.[5]
