editAs of October 2023[update], Species Fungorum (in the Catalogue of Life) accepts 19 species of Xanthoria.[5]
- Xanthoria aureola (Ach.) Erichsen (1930)
- Xanthoria calcicola Oxner (1937)
- Xanthoria coomae S.Y.Kondr. & Kärnefelt (2007)
- Xanthoria ectaneoides (Nyl.) Zahlbr. (1931)
- Xanthoria hypogymnioides S.Y.Kondr. & Kärnefelt (2007)
- Xanthoria ibizaensis S.Y.Kondr. & A.S.Kondr. (2020)
- Xanthoria juniperina S.Y.Kondr. (2013)
- Xanthoria kangarooensis S.Y.Kondr. & Kärnefelt (2009)
- Xanthoria lapalmaensis Schumm & S.Y.Kondr. (2017)
- Xanthoria parietina (L.) Th.Fr. (1860) – common orange lichen, yellow scale, maritime sunburst lichen, shore lichen[6]
- Xanthoria polessica S.Y.Kondr. & Yatsyna (2013)
- Xanthoria rutilans (Ach.) S.Y.Kondr. (2002)
- Xanthoria schummii S.Y.Kondr. (2017)
- Xanthoria splendidula (Zahlbr.) Makryĭ (2007)
- Xanthoria ulophyllodes Räsänen (1931) – powdery sunburst lichen[6]
- Xanthoria whinrayi S.Y.Kondr. & Kärnefelt (2007)
- Xanthoria yorkensis S.Y.Kondr. & Kärnefelt (2009)
The taxa Xanthoria coomae S.Y.Kondr. & Kärnefelt (2007) and Xanthoria polessica S.Y.Kondr. & Yatsyna (2013) were determined to be the same species as X. parietina in a 2020 publication.[7] The taxon once known as Xanthoria elegans is now Rusavskia elegans, the type species of genus Rusavskia.[8]
