Pleurosticta koflerae is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. It is a member of the group of species informally known as the "brown Parmeliae". The lichen was first formally described as Parmelia koflerae by lichenologists and in 1961.[2] Theodore Esslinger transferred it to the genus Melanelia in 1978 when he reorganized the classification of the brown Parmeliae,[3] a continuation of his research on the group published the year before.[4] It was finally transferred to the newly resurrected genus Pleurosticta in 1988 by H. Thorsten Lumbsch and John A. Elix.[5]

Pleurosticta koflerae occurs in Eurasia. It has been reported from France, Russia, Slovakia,[6] Armenia,[7] and Kyrgyzstan.[8]
