Type species: Lichenopora turbinata Defrance, 1823
This genus includes the species:
| Lichenopora parva | Gordon & Taylor, 1997 | Miocene | New Zealand |
| Lichenopora turbinata | Defrance, 1823 | Cretaceous | France |
The type species is a turbinate form, unlike the many Recent and Tertiary adnate forms which have been included in this genus. Further revision will be needed to determine the systematics of this large group. The genus Patinella may be available to accommodate some of these species.
