Topelia is a genus of fungi within the family Stictidaceae.[1]
The genus name of Topelia is an anagram in honour of Josef Poelt (1924-1995), who was a German-Austrian botanist (Bryology, Mycology and Lichenology) and was Professor of Systematic Botany at the Free University of Berlin in 1965.[2]
The genus was circumscribed by Per Magnus Jørgensen and Antonin Vězda in Nova Hedwigia Beih. vol.79 on page 502 in 1984.
