Thelocarpaceae is the sole family of lichen-forming fungi in the order Thelocarpales. The family contains two genera, Sarcosagium and Thelocarpon.[1] The family was circumscribed by lichenologist Hugo Zukal in 1893,[2] while the order was proposed by Robert Lücking and H. Thorsten Lumbsch in 2016.[3]
