Catapyrenium boccanum is a species of
algae in the hymenium, this species is a "catapyrenioid" lichen, of which more than 80 exist in the Verrucariaceae.[4]
The lichen was first formally described as a new species in 1955 by Czech lichenologist Miroslav Servít.[5] Othmar Breuss transferred it to Catapyrenium in 1990 as part of a revision of that genus.[6] In Europe, the lichen has a largely Mediterranean distribution, although scattered records are known from western and southern Europe.[3] It is also found in Turkey.[7]
