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

The type specimen was collected by the authors in the Trilha Cangaço Eco Parque in Poço Redondo, where it was found growing on exposed granite bedrock.

[1] The lichen is characterised by its cinnabar red, appressed thallus made of angular areoles that transition to lobes that are elongated at the margins.

Thin-layer chromatography analysis of the lichen thallus showed the presence of an anthraquinone substance.

[2] Wetmoreana intensa is phylogenetically close to W. brouardii, but differs "markedly" from that species in terms of morphology.
