Tania is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Roccellaceae. It has two species.[1] The genus was circumscribed by Maria Egea Fernández, Pilar Torrente and Harrie Sipman in 1995, with Tania lanosa assigned as the type, and at that time, only species.[2] A second species, T. mohamedii, was added to the genus in 2006.[3] The genus name honours bryologist Benito Ching Tan (1946–2016), who organized the expedition to Mount Kinabalu and collected the type species with Sipman.[2]
