Biatora is a genus of lichens in the family Ramalinaceae. First described in 1817,[2] the genus consists of crustose and squamulose lichens with green algal photobionts, biatorine apothecia, colorless, simple to 3-septate ascospores, and bacilliform pycnospores.[3] According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the genus contains 42 species that are widely distributed in temperate areas.[4]
The taxon Biatora marmorea, found in Alaska, was proposed as a new species in 2020;[6] however, it is an illegitimate name as it had already been used for a species that is now known as Bagliettoa marmorea.[7]
