Abstract: The Physciaceae and Caliciaceae are the two largest families of the Caliciales. The traditional circumscription of the Caliciaceae as mazaedial lichens is not supported by phylogenetic analysis; a number of non-mazaedial forms including Buellia and Diploicia belong to that family. This makes the distinction between the Caliciaceae and Physciaceae problematic in morphological terms. The treatment here follows that of Lücking et al. (2016), except that Heterodermia, Leucodermia and Polyblastidium are kept together until more detailed studies are concluded. Mischoblastia and Rinodina are separated at generic level based on phylogenetic studies, but the circumscription of the former genus needs further research. Kondratyuk et al. (2021) contributed a phylogeny of the family and introduced seven new genera. While some of these may be accepted in time, the data presented could be described as preliminary, and further research is needed to confirm their findings.
