Felipes is a genus of lichenized fungi in the order Arthoniales. Circumscribed by Andreas Frisch and Göran Thor in 2014, it contains the single species Felipes leucopellaeus.Шаблон:Sfn Genetic analysis shows that the genus falls into the order Arthoniales,Шаблон:Sfn but its familial placement is uncertain.Шаблон:Sfn Felipes leucopellaeus is found across Europe and North America in temperate and boreal regions, typically in old-growth forest or wooded mires.Шаблон:Sfn It is crustose and corticolous.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn

Systematics

Felipes leucopellaeus was first described in 1810 by Erik Acharius, who named it Spiloma melaleucum var. leucopellaeum.Шаблон:Sfn He later moved it to the genus Arthonia as Arthonia leucopellaea, where most taxonomists listed it for nearly two centuries. However, in 2014, Andreas Frisch and Göran Thor moved it to the monotypic genus Felipes. The genus name is Latin for "cat's paw", a reference to the shape of its ascomata (fruiting structures).Шаблон:Sfn

Description

Felipes leucopellaeus is a crustose lichen.Шаблон:Sfn Its thallus is whitish to pale yellow or fawn in colour, variously described as being flaky (scurfy), minutely granular (leprose) or somewhat "cobwebby" (arachnoid) in appearance.Шаблон:Sfn Fresh growth often has a pinkish tinge, and the lichen has no distinct margin. Its apothecia (the lichen's spore-carrying structures) are dark brown to black in colour, ranging in shape from generally rounded to star-like or lobed.Шаблон:Sfn

Ecology

Felipes leucopellaeus is a corticolous lichen, growing on tree bark – particularly acidic tree bark. In Europe, it is found on the bark of mature birch (Betula), oak (Quercus), pine (Pinus) and holly (Ilex) trees, as well as occasionally on old common heather (Calluna) stems.Шаблон:Sfn In North America, where it was first recorded in 1988, it has been found on the bark of Betula alleghaniensis (yellow birch) and Picea rubens (red spruce).Шаблон:Sfn

It is uncommon in many of the places it occurs. In Italy, it is considered critically endangered,Шаблон:Sfn and it is a red-listed species in Poland and Lithuania.Шаблон:Sfn It is sometimes attacked by the lichenicolous species Chaenothecopsis vainioana.Шаблон:Sfn
