'''''Siphulopsis''''' is a single-species fungal [[genus]] in the family [[Icmadophilaceae]].<ref name="CoL"/><ref name="Wijayawardene et al. 2022"/> This [[monotypic]] genus the contains the [[fruticose lichen]] species '''''Siphulopsis queenslandica''''', found in Australia. This lichen was originally described by [[Gintaras Kantvilas]] in 2018.<ref name="Kantvilas 2018"/> He tentatively classified it in the genus ''[[Knightiella]]'' due to [[morphology (biology)|morphological]] similarities with ''Knightiella eucalypti'' (since transferred to the genus ''[[Knightiellastrum]]''), but [[molecular phylogenetics]] revealed it to constitute a distinct [[lineage (evolution)|lineage]].<ref name="Ludwig et al. 2020"/>
The genus name ''Siphulopsis'' combines the name ''[[Siphula]]'', referring to a similar genus, with the Greek [[suffix]] ''-opsis'', which denotes resemblance. This naming reflects the similarity in [[thallus]] morphology between this species and those of ''Siphula''.<ref name="Ludwig et al. 2020"/>
==Description==
The species ''Siphulopsis queenslandica'' initiates its growth as small, scale-like patches ({{lichengloss|squamulose}}) and soon develops into shrub-like, cushioned clumps ({{lichengloss|fruticose}}), typically presenting a whitish to pale ashen-grey colour. This species lacks [[rhizine]]s (root-like structures for attachment). Upon examination of a cross-section of the thallus, a {{lichengloss|pseudocortex}} can be observed. This outer layer is about 20–30 [[μm]] thick and consists of poorly differentiated, short-celled [[hypha]]e, each approximately 5 μm wide. This layer also contains sporadically interspersed dead cells of its [[photosynthesis|photosynthetic]] partner, a unicellular [[green alga]]. The algal cells are spherical and measure between 6 and 10 μm in diameter.<ref name="Ludwig et al. 2020"/>
Reproductive structures known as [[ascomata]] are not observed in this species. However, it possesses [[pycnidia]], which are small, flask-shaped structures embedded within the thallus, producing {{lichengloss|bacilliform}} (rod-shaped) [[conidia]], which are involved in [[asexual reproduction]].<ref name="Ludwig et al. 2020"/>
The chemical composition of ''Siphulopsis queenslandica'' includes [[thamnolic acid]], a [[secondary metabolite]] common in many lichen species.<ref name="Ludwig et al. 2020"/>
The generic description of ''Siphulopsis'' references its fruticose thallus that contains thamnolic acid, which is somewhat similar to ''Siphulae Fr.'' but lacks rhizines and is not genetically related to this genus.<ref name="Ludwig et al. 2020"/>
