Opegraphaceae is a family of lichen-forming and lichenicolous fungi in the order Arthoniales.[1] It was originally proposed by German lichenologist Ernst Stizenberger in 1862.[2] It fell into disuse, but was resurrected in a molecular phylogenetic study of the order Arthoniales published in 2010. It now includes taxa that were previously referred to the family Roccellaceae, its sister group.[3]
