Arthoniomycetes are a class of ascomycete fungi. It includes two orders: Arthoniales and Lichenostigmatales.[2] Most of the taxa in these orders are tropical and subtropical lichens.

Systematics
editPhylogenetic analysis supports the monophyly of this class.[3] Dothideomycetes is a sister group.[4]
Characteristics
editTaxa have apothecia, cup- or saucer- shaped ascoma in which the hymenium is exposed at maturity. These apothecia are bitunicate - with clearly differentiated inner and outer walls.
