Despite this fact the relationship between Parmeliaceae and other groups in Lecanorales is still poorly known. The aim of the present study is to contribute to finding the sister-group to Parmeliaceae, as an aid for future studies on the phylogeny and character evolution of the group. We do this by sampling all potential relatives to the Parmeliaceae that we have identified, i.e. Gypsoplaca, Japewia, Mycoblastus, Protoparmelia, and Tephromela, a good representation of the major groups within the Parmeliaceae s. lat., and a good representation of other taxa in the core-Lecanorales. We use molecular data from two genes, nuclear LSU and mitochondrial SSU rDNA, and a Bayesian analysis of the combined data. The results show that the closest relatives to Parmeliaceae are the two genera Protoparmelia and Gypsoplaca, which are crustose lichens. Parmeliaceae in our sense is a well-supported group, including also the family segregates Alectoriaceae, Hypogymniaceae, Usneaceae, and Anziaceae. The results also indicate that the family Mycoblastaceae is monophyletic only if Tephromelataceae is included and that neither Calvitimela nor Mycoblastus are monophyletic.} }
