Nevesia was introduced by Ekman et al. (2014) based on multigene analyses (ITS, mtSSU, and RPB1) with Nevesia sampaiana as the type species. Originally, N. sampaiana was a member of the genus Pannaria, later transferred to the genus Fuscopannaria (Jørgensen 1994). Nevesia is characterized by a nut-brown thallus, blue-black hypothallus, and immature apothecia with a thalline margin (Ekman et al. 2014). However, mature apothecia have not been reported yet (Jørgensen 1978, 1994, Ekman et al. 2014). No other species have been introduced to this genus, which remains monotypic.

Type species: Nevesia sampaiana (Tav.) P.M. Jørg., L. Lindblom, Wedin & S. Ekman

Other accepted species: This genus is monotypic.
