Pyrenula anomala has not been listed for NZ, although Melanotheca irregularis, listed by Aptroot (2012) as a synonym of Pyrenlua anomala, has previously been named from NZ material. D. Galloway (2007) regarded this NZ material as Pyrenula occulta, which Aptroot (2012) regarded as a synonym of Pyrenula dermatodes.
