Variospora cancarixiticola is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae.

The lichen was first formally described in 2000 as a species of Caloplaca by Pere Navarro-Rosinés, José Egea, and Xavier Llimona.

[2] The type specimen was collected from the Sierra de las Cabras between Agramón and Cancárix (province Albacete, Castilla–La Mancha), at an altitude of 671 m (2,201 ft).

[2] The taxon was transferred to the newly circumscribed genus Variospora in 2013, as part of a molecular phylogenetics-directed reorganisation of the family Teloschistaceae.

Ascospores number eight per ascus, and are colourless, narrowly ellipsoid, and polarilocular (i.e. divided into two compartments), with typical dimensions of 16–22 by 4.5–6 μm.
