Parmotrema betaniae is a species of corticolous lichen in the family Parmeliaceae that is found in Venezuela. It was described as a new species in 1986 by lichenologist Mason Hale. The holotype was collected in Táchira State, in the valley of Páramo de Tamá, at an elevation of 2,300 metres (7,500 ft).[1] It has also been recorded from Bolivia.[2] Its thallus measures up to 14 cm (5.5 in) in diameter. It is characterized by the pigmentation of most of its medulla, coloured pale orange or salmon-red to yellow (except for the upper part).[1]
