To resolve this, the name Lobaria peltigera was adopted by Edvard August Vainio in 1890,[3] and this designation has been used to represent the species accurately.

[4] The genus Yoshimuriella was established by Bibiana Moncada and Robert Lücking in 2013 to reclassify the Lobaria peltigera group,[5] based on distinct morphological characteristics.

Furthermore, Y. peltigera features an irregular vein pattern with secondary branches that do not precisely follow the lobe midrib, creating a zigzagging network.

[4] The correct name for this species, based on Vainio's material from his Lichenes Brasilienses Exsiccati collection, is Yoshimuriella peltigera (Vain.)

This new combination was proposed to retain the historically significant epithet "peltigera" while accurately reflecting the species' characteristics and phylogenetic relationships within the genus Yoshimuriella.
