Cetrelia cetrarioides is a foliose lichen belonging to the family Parmeliaceae.[2]

It is native to Eurasia and Northern America.[2] In Nepal, Cetrelia cetrarioides has been reported from 2,000 to 3,000 m elevation in a compilation of published records.[3]

It is part of the Cetrelia olivetorum species complex, a group of morphologically similar lichens now treated as four distinct species: C. cetrarioides, C. chicitae, C. monachorum, and C. olivetorum in the strict sense (sensu stricto.[4]
