Hydropunctaria symbalana is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae.[2] This Mediterranean marine lichen was first described as a new species in 1873 by the Finish lichenologist William Nylander, who classified it in the genus Verrucaria. The type specimen was collected in Cape Béar, in the Eastern Pyrenees region of France, near the Mediterranean Sea.[3] Claude Roux transferred the taxon to the genus Hydropunctaria in 2020.[4]

In addition to France, the lichen has been documented from marine communities in Greece,[5] and in Turkey's Iskenderun Bay,[6] where it lives in the littoral zone in maritime environments.
