Haematomma is a genus of crustose lichens established by Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1852. ^[2] It is the sole genus in the Haematommataceae, ^[3] a family circumscribed by Josef Hafellner in 1984. ^[4] Commonly called bloodstain lichens, ^[5] the species assigned to this genus are widely distributed in tropical and temperate areas. ^[6]

The genus name Haematomma means "bloody eye", a reference to the color of the lichen's apothecia. ^[7]
