Etymology: "The new genus is named after my friend André Aptroot, an extremely productive and tireless explorer of lichens, who collected the new species Aabaarnia siphulicola in Tasmania. The generic name is formed by the initials of his name (A. A.), followed by the name of the city Baarn in the Netherlands, where André was professionally active over many years."
