Chiodecton leprarioides

Chiodecton leprarioides is a species of lichen in the family Roccellaceae.

Found in Réunion, it was described as a new species in 2021 by lichenologists Klaus Kalb and André Aptroot.

The type was collected in the Cirque de Cilaos, on the climb towards the Col du Taïbit [fr], at an elevation of about 1,300 m (4,300 ft).

Here it was found growing on tree bark in a secondary scrub forest.

The specific epithet leprarioides refers to the farinose (mealy) soredia that cover the lichen thallus.
