Melanohalea beringiana

Melanohalea beringiana is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae.

The type was collected near the Richardson Highway, north of Paxson, Alaska, where it was found growing on the bark of a trunk of balsam poplar.

The specific epithet beringiana refers to its Alaskan distribution.

It is morphologically similar to Melanohalea olivaceoides, but is genetically distinct from that species.
