Teuvoa Junipericola
''Teuvoa'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Megasporaceae. It was first classified by lichenologists Mohammad Sohrabi and Steven Leavitt in 2013, with '' Teuvoa uxoris'' assigned as the type species. This genus was delineated from the larger genus, ''Aspicilia'', following a molecular phylogenetic analysis which revealed that the ''Aspicilia uxoris'' species group constituted a distinct lineage in the Megasporaceae. Initially containing three species, two additional species native to China were added in 2018. ''Teuvoa'' is characterised by its small and , and the absence of secondary metabolites. The physical characteristics of ''Teuvoa'' include a crustose thallus, forming a distinct or patchy pattern, which can range from white to grey in colour with a dull surface. The innermost layer, or medulla, is white. The genus's , a photosynthesising partner, generally belongs to the green alga genus ''Trebouxia'' or similar genera. Reproduction in ''Teuvoa'' occurs ...

This genus was delineated from the larger genus, ''Aspicilia'', following a molecular phylogenetic analysis which revealed that the ''Aspicilia uxoris'' species group constituted a distinct lineage (evolution), lineage in the Megasporaceae.
