About

Chaenotheca papuensis is a species of crustose lichen in the family Coniocybaceae. Found in Papua New Guinea, it was formally described as a new species in 2003 by the lichenologists André Aptroot and Leif Tibell. The type specimen was collected by Aptroot in 1995 from the Owen Stanley Range, at an elevation of about 2,100 m (6,900 ft); there, in the remote mountain village Myola, it was found growing on the bark of huts and on wood.
