Lichenoverruculina is a fungal genus in the family Hyponectriaceae and order Amphisphaeriales.[1] This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Lichenoverruculina sigmatospora.[2] which was published in Herzogia vol.24 (2) on page 274 in 2011.[3]

In a revision of lichenicolous fungi described by Spegazzini by botanists Etayo & Rosato in 2008, they proposed a new genus of Verruculina Etayo, unaware that this generic name was already used for an unrelated marine fungus group by Kohlmeyer & Volkmann-Kohlmeyer (in 1990), as Verruculina Kohlm. & Volkm.-Kohlm. The name Lichenoverruculina Etayo & Sharuddin was then proposed to replace Verruculina Etayo.[3]
