This poorly known saxicolous cyanolichen with a more or less pruinose thallus was described from Hungary and has so far been published from Romania (Malíček et al. 2023). In the Czech Republic, there is only a single published record from the Drbákov–Albertovy skály National Nature Reserve, where it occurs rarely on periodically wetted, strongly calcareous volcanic rock in woodland, together with several representatives of the genus Verrucaria and the species Protoblastenia rupestris. Genetically identical material is also known from two collections by J. Vondrák from Týřov in Central Bohemia (GenBank: OL396748 and OL396705); however, these collections are not mentioned in the relevant publication (Vondrák et al. 2022). Based on mitochondrial SSU sequences, this taxon belongs to the genus Lichinella.
