Rhexophiale is a small genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Sagiolechiaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed by Theodor Magnus Fries in 1860.[2] It comprises two species:[3]

Molecular phylogenetics analysis has shown that Rhexophiale coronata lies within a clade with Sagiolechia phaeospora and S. protuberans, which challenges the distinctiveness of the genus Rhexophiale.[4][5]
