In a recent proposal for a classification of orders and families in Lecanoromycetidae and Ostropomycetidae based on a temporal approach, Squamarinaceae and Stereocaulaceae were synonymized with Cladoniaceae , and Lobariaceae and Nephromataceae with Peltigeraceae . Since these four synonymized families represent easily recognized, monophyletic lineages and are well-established names, we here propose to accept them at subfamilial rank, as Lobarioideae , Nephromatoideae , Squamarinoideae , and Stereocauloideae .
