Melanohalea zopheroa is a species of lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It was first formally described in 1977 by Ted Esslinger as Parmelia zopheroa.[2] A year later, he transferred it to the new genus Melanelia, which he created to contain the brown Parmeliae species.[3] In 2004, after early molecular phylogenetic evidence showed that Melanelia was not monophyletic,[4][5][6] Melanohalea was circumscribed by lichenologists Oscar Blanco, Ana Crespo, Pradeep K. Divakar, Esslinger, David L. Hawksworth and H. Thorsten Lumbsch, and M. zopheroa was transferred to it.[4] The lichen has a disjunct distribution, as it is found in South America (Chile) and in New Zealand.[7]
David Galloway and Per Magnus Jørgensen have suggested that Melanohalea zopheroa is a sorediate counterpart of the New Zealand species Melanelia inactiva.[8]
