The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in south temperate regions, and contains about 170 species. They resemble Lobaria, except that all species of Pseudocyphellaria have conspicuous pseudocyphellae on their lower surface, a characteristic that is unique to this genus. Some species contain pulvinic acid-related pigments; in these species the soredia and pseudocyphellae can be bright yellow.
