Menegazzia confusa is a species of foliose lichen found in Australia. It was formally described as a new species in 1987 by lichenologist Peter James. The type specimen was collected by Gintaras Kantvilas near Lake Leake Road in Tasmania, where it was found growing on the bark of Exocarpos cupressiformis in a sclerophyll forest. It also occurs in Victoria. The lichen is quite similar to Menegazzia platytrema, but typically has more crowded apothecia, and lobes that are shorter and more congested. Menegazzia confusa contains caperatic acid as its primary lichen product, whereas M. platytrema contains stictic acid and related compounds.
Menegazzia foraminulosa is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen that is endemic to New Zealand.

The species contains several lichen products, including depsides, depsidones, as well as fatty acids and pigments.

In China, it was recorded growing on the bark of Korean pine. The lichen has a dull whitish to ash-grey crust-like thallus with a definite margin, but lacking a prothallus. Lecanora hafelliana contains several secondary compounds, including atranorin, zeorin, usnic acid, a complex of compounds related to stictic acid, and hafellic acid. Its specific epithet alludes to the presence of this latter compound.
Pertusaria epacrospora is a rare species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), areolate lichen in the family Pertusariaceae. Found in Australia, it was formally described as a new species in 1991 by lichenologist Alan W. Archer. The type specimen was collected in Park Beach at sea level; here, it was found growing on trees in a coastal sand dune. The lichen has a thin, pale yellowish-green thallus lacking soredia and isidia. It has numerous wart-shaped apothecia, the same colour as the thallus, which measure 0.4–0.8 mm in diameter and which have a single, inconspicuous ostiole. The ascospores, which number 2 per ascus, are smooth and fusiform (spindle-shaped), typically measuring 125–150 μm long by 35–45 μm wide. Pertusaria epacrospora is only known to occur at the type locality. Secondary compounds found in the lichen are thiophaninic acid and stictic acid as major components, and minor to trace amounts of constictic acid and hypostictic acid.
Wirthiotrema xanthopustulatum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in Brazil, it was formally described as a new species in 2021 by lichenologists André Aptroot and Maria Fernanda de Souza. The type specimen was collected in Tagaçaba Porto da Linha on tree bark. It has a pale olivaceous, shiny metallic-green thallus that covers an area up to 10 cm (4 in) in diameter. It contains the secondary compounds protocetraric acid and lichexanthone. This latter compound causes the lichen thallus to fluoresce a yellow colour when shone with a long-wavelength UV light. Wirthiotrema santessonii is similar in appearance, but it contains stictic acid rather than protocetraric acid and lichexanthone.

The species epithet honours Dutch lichenologist André Aptroot, "for his invaluable contributions to tropical lichenology".
Coenogonium pineti is a species of crustose lichen in the family Coenogoniaceae. It was first formally described by Erik Acharius in 1810, as Lecidea pineti. Robert Lücking and H. Thorsten Lumbsch transferred it to Coenogonium in 2004 after molecular phylogenetic analysis suggested its placement in that genus. The lichen has a widespread distribution in cooler, temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere, but has also been recorded from southeastern mainland Australia and Tasmania.
Diorygma incantatum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae. It is found in northern and southern Brazil.
