List of Parmeliaceae genera

This is a list of genera in the Lecanoromycete family Parmeliaceae. A phylogenetic classification system is outlined first, followed by an alphabetical listing of genera.

Unranked phylogenetic classification

The following unranked classification scheme follows that of Crespo et al. (2007)[1], with additional unplaced genera added from Myconet.[2] It should be regarded as tentative, as a great deal of active research is currently being done in this area.[3]
