Bathelium inspersomastoideum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Trypetheliaceae. Found in Bolivia, it was formally described as a new species in 2016 by lichenologists Adam Flakus and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected from Plan de Manejo AISU in the Rios Blanco y Negro Wildlife Reserve (Guarayos Province, Santa Cruz Department) at an altitude of 242 m (794 ft); there, it was found growing on bark in a lowland Amazon forest. It is only known to occur in this and similar habitats in Bolivia. The species epithet refers to both its [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (i.e., interpenetrated with granules) and its resemblance to B. mastoideum.[1]
