Hypogymnia pseudopruinosa is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae, and one of more than 40 species of the genus Hypogymnia that is found in China. It was formally described by Xinli Wei and Jiangchen Wei in 2006. The type was collected from dead branches of Juniperus sabina, in Degen County (Yunnan), at an altitude of 4,100 metres (13,500 ft). It is quite similar in appearance to Hypogymnia macrospora, but that species lacks the dense layer of pruina that is characteristic of H. pseudopruinosa. Later study showed that the type collection of H. pseudopruinosa was actually

Hypogymnia papilliformis is a rare species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in China and the Russian Far East, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Bruce McCune, Svetlana Tchabanenko, and Xin Li Wei. The type specimen was collected by the second author in the Lazovsky Nature Reserve (Primorsky Krai, Russia) at an altitude of 600 m (2,000 ft); here, in a mixed conifer–broadleaved forest, it was found growing on Korean pine (Pinus koraiensis). The lichen has also been recorded from a mixed forest in the mountains of Shaanxi Province in China, at an altitude

Hypogymnia pruinoidea is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in China, it was formally described as a new species in 2012 by Xin-Li Wei and Jiang-Chun Wei. The type specimen was collected from Mt. Taibaishan (Shaanxi) at an elevation of 2,800 m (9,200 ft), where it was found growing on the trunk of Abies. It is only known to occur at this location, a cool and moist montane environment supporting lichen-rich forests and woodlands. The species epithet refers to the pruinose upper thallus surface and lobe tips.

Endocarpon unifoliatum is a species of squamulose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. It was described in 2017 from sandy soil crusts on the south-eastern edge of China's Tengger Desert. The species has a single, concave, lobed scale with slightly upturned margins, and relatively few fruiting bodies. Its branched, root-like rhizines wrap sand grains, helping to stabilise loose desert substrates.

Endocarpon deserticola is a species of squamulose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. This small, scale-like lichen was scientifically described in 2017 from specimens found in the desert environment of China's Tengger Desert, where it grows on sandy soil crusts. The species is characterised by having exceptionally numerous fruiting bodies densely packed across its surface—often 50 or more per scale. It plays an ecological role by helping to stabilise loose desert sands with its root-like structures.

Clavascidium sinense is a species of squamulose (scaley), ground-dwelling lichen in the family Verrucariaceae. Found in Northwest China, it was formally described as a new species in 2022 by Tingting Zhang and Xinli Wei. The type specimen was collected in Datong City (Yanggao County, Shanxi) at an altitude of 1,147 m (3,763 ft). The species epithet sinense refers to its Chinese distribution. Characteristics of Clavascidium sinense include the presence of both uniseriate (lined up in a single row) and biseriate (lined up in two rows) ascospores in the asci, pycnidia that are superficial on the
