Wetmoreana decipioides

Wetmoreana decipioides is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. It is found in Gangwon Province, South Korea. This species was originally described in 2011 by Ulf Arup as a member of the large genus Caloplaca. The specific epithet decipioides refers to its similarity with Caloplaca decipiens. Arup and colleagues transferred it to genus Wetmoreana in 2013. It was briefly placed in the genus Fulgogasparrea later that year, but a study by Wilk and Lücking in 2024 synonymised Fulgogasparrea with Wetmoreana, confirming the placement of this species in Wetmoreana.
