Pseudochapsa Albomaculata
''Pseudochapsa'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae. It has 19 species. It was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed in 2012 by Sittiporn Parnmen, Robert Lücking, and Helge Thorsten Lumbsch, with ''Pseudochapsa dilatata'' as the type species. ''Pseudochapsa'' differs from ''Chapsa'' (the genus from which it was segregated) it that its excipulum (the rim of tissue around the apothecia) is typically brown. Additionally, its ascospores are mostly discoseptate and amyloid (mycology), amyloid. The generic name combines the Greek ''pseudo'' ("false") with the genus name ''Chapsa''.

Robert Lücking
Robert Lücking (born 1964) is a German lichenologist, known for his extensive research on foliicolous lichens (lichens that live on leaves) and his significant contributions to the taxonomy, ecology, and biodiversity of fungi and lichens. He earned his master's and PhD from the University of Ulm, focusing on foliicolous lichens. He has received numerous awards for his work, including the Mason E. Hale Award for his doctoral thesis, the Augustin Pyramus de Candolle prize for his monograph, and the Tuckerman Award twice for his publications in the scientific journal '' The Bryologist''. Since 2015, Lücking has been serving as the curator of lichens, fungi, and bryophytes at the Berlin Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum, overseeing a vast scientific collection and contributing to major advancements in molecular phylogenetics in lichenology. Lücking has authored or co-authored the description of more than 1000 taxa, making him one of the most prolific modern lichenologists. ...

Pseudochapsa Lueckingii
''Pseudochapsa lueckingii'' is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae. It is known only from a single collection in São Paulo, Brazil. Taxonomy The lichen was first formally described as a new species in 2009 by Klaus Kalb. He collected the type specimen from a dense and humid rainforest at an elevation of , where it was found growing on the smooth bark of a deciduous tree. The species epithet honours his colleague Robert Lücking, "for his outstanding contributions to tropical lichenology". The taxon was transferred in 2012 to '' Pseudochapsa'', a segregate genus of '' Chapsa'', characterised by the brown colour of its . Description ''Pseudochapsa lueckingii'' has a smooth, olive-green thallus with a 3–10 μm-thick, hyaline cortical layer. It has large, more-or-less round apothecia measuring 0.7–2 mm in diameter with a pale brown covered with white . Ascospores typically have between 5 and 7 transverse septa, and m ...
