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. [2] Arup and colleagues transferred it to genus Wetmoreana in 2013. [3] It was briefly placed in the genus Fulgogasparrea later that year, [4] but a study by Wilk and Lücking in 2024 synonymised Fulgogasparrea with Wetmoreana, confirming the placement of this species in Wetmoreana.
