Melanohalea trabeculata is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It was first formally described by Finnish lichenologist Teuvo Ahti in 1966 as Parmelia trabeculata.[2] Ted Esslinger transferred the species to the new genus Melanelia in 1978, which he circumscribed to contain the brown parmeliae species.[3] In 2004, it was moved to the newly circumscribed genus Melanohalea.[4]
Ahti collected the type in the Cochrane District of Ontario, Canada, on the west end of Martison Lake. There he found it growing on the trunk of a large willow tree on the lake shore. He suggested that it is a strictly North American species with a transcontinental boreal range.[2]
