Subfamily Lithophylloideae [details]Subfamily From AlgaeBase (2020 version): Heydrich (1897: 408) excluded the type of Melobesia Lamouroux (M. membranacea) from his genus by placing it in his hew genus Epilithon (see separate AlgaeBase entry), thereby establishing a new genus called Melobesia which must be solely attributed to him. Heydrich characterized his genus as having uniporate tetrasporangial conceptacles rather than multiporate tetrasporangial conceptacles as occur in Melobesia membranacea Lamouroux. Heydrich did not designate a type species, but Foslie (1898a: 6), who briefly accepted Heydrich’s concept of Melobesia, designated M. pustulata Lamouroux as type. The type of Melobesia pustulata is also the type species of the older generic name Titanoderma Nägeli (1858: 532), which currently is either recognized as a distinct genus or treated as a heterotypic synonym of Lithophyllum Philippi (1837).
