Calogaya biatorina is a crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae, assessed as Endangered (EN). It grows on sun-exposed rock surfaces and is sensitive to habitat disturbance and changes in air quality. Its endangered status reflects the decline of stable, unpolluted rocky habitats across its range.

Calogaya pusilla is a small, orange to yellow foliose or placodioid lichen growing on exposed calcium-rich rock surfaces and old stone walls in open, sunny habitats. It belongs to a genus of brightly coloured lichens dependent on specific nutrient-rich or calcareous substrates. Classified as Endangered, this species is threatened by the loss of traditional stone structures and suitable natural rock habitats.
