Anzia pseudocolpota is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in southwestern China, it was formally described as a new species in 2015 by Xin-Yu Wang and Li-Song Wang. The type specimen was collected by the second author from Lidiping mountain (Weixi County, Yunnan) at an altitude of 3,350 m (10,990 ft), where it was found growing on Loranthus bark. It is named for its similarity to Anzia colpota, from which it differs by the presence of a central axis, a discontinuous spongiostratum (a layer of net-like anastomosing hyphae), and the presence of the lichen product divaricatic acid. The lichen is only known to occur in Sichuan and Yunnan, at elevation ranges between 2,500 and 3,700 m (8,200 and 12,100 ft).[1]
