It was first describedbyAlexander Zahlbruckner in 1894 as Parmelia aspidota var. elegantula. Hungarian lichenologist Ödön Szatala promoted it to full species status, as Parmelia elegantula, in 1930. Ted Esslinger transferred it to the genus Melanelia in 1978.[3] Finally, it was assigned to the newly circumscribed genus Melanohalea in 2004.[4]
