Thalloidima is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Ramalinaceae.[2] It has 13 species.[3]
The genus was originally circumscribed by Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1852.[4] It was subsumed into genus Toninia by Einar Timdal in 1992.[5] The genus was resurrected for use in 2018 by Kistenich and colleagues following a molecular phylogenetics-led restructuring of the Ramalinaceae.[1]
