Crocodia is a genus of foliose lichens in the family Peltigeraceae.[1] It has eight species. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution, although most species occur in temperate and tropical regions of the Southern Hemisphere. The main characteristics of the genus that separate it from its parent genus, Pseudocyphellaria, include a yellow medulla and yellow pseudocyphellae (tiny pores for gas exchange) on the lower thallus surface.
