Hymenelia parva is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Hymeneliaceae. Found in Canada, it was formally described as a new species in 2018 by lichenologists Alan Fryday and John McCarthy. The type specimen was collected from Saint Mary's Bay in the Avalon Peninsula ( Newfoundland and Labrador), where it was found growing on soft reddish-brown shale that was on the seashore. This area is part of the South Avalon–Burin oceanic barrens. [1] The lichen is only known to occur in the type locality. [2] The species epithet parva ( Latin for "small" or "little") refers to its relatively small apothecia and ascospores. [1]
