Pleurosticta koflerae is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is a member of the group of species informally known as the "brown Parmeliae". The lichen was first formally described as Parmelia koflerae by lichenologists Georges Clauzade and Josef Poelt in 1961. [2] Theodore Esslinger transferred it to the genus Melanelia in 1978 when he reorganized the classification of the brown Parmeliae, [3] a continuation of his research on the group published the year before. [4] It was finally transferred to the newly resurrected genus Pleurosticta in 1988 by H. Thorsten Lumbsch and John A. Elix. [5]
Pleurosticta koflerae occurs in Eurasia. It has been reported from France, Russia, Slovakia, [6] Armenia, [7] and Kyrgyzstan. [8]
