Moelleropsis is a genus that was published by
Vilmos Kőfaragó-Gyelnik in 1940, with Moelleropsis nebulosa assigned as its type species. Using
molecular phylogenetics, it was later shown that this
taxon was nested within Fuscopannaria. Because Moelleropsis was
published earlier than Fuscopannaria, the
botanical rules for nomenclature indicated that Fuscopannaria be folded into
synonymy with Moelleropsis. However, this would have meant that several dozen species would have had to change their names, so, in order to preserve "nomenclatural stability", in 2013 Jørgensen and colleagues proposed to
conserve the name Fuscopannaria against Moelleropsis.[6] This proposal was accepted by the
Nomenclature Committee for Fungi in 2017.[7]
