Herpothallon rubromaculatum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Arthoniaceae.[1] Found in tropical rainforests of Peru and Venezuela, it was formally described as new to science in 2009 by the lichenologist Göran Thor. It contains neodiffractic acid as a major lichen product, and confluentic acid as a minor component.[2]
