Pleurosticta koflerae

Pleurosticta koflerae is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae.

The lichen was first formally described as Parmelia koflerae by lichenologists Georges Clauzade and Josef Poelt in 1961.

[2] Theodore Esslinger transferred it to the genus Melanelia in 1978 when he reorganized the classification of the brown Parmeliae,[3] a continuation of his research on the group published the year before.

[4] It was finally transferred to the newly resurrected genus Pleurosticta in 1988 by H. Thorsten Lumbsch and John A.

It has been reported from France, Russia, Slovakia,[6] Armenia,[7] and Kyrgyzstan.
