Peccania tiruncula is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), squamulose to dwarf fruticose lichen in the family Lichinaceae. It was first described as a new species in 1878 by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander, who classified it in the genus Omphalaria. The type specimen was collected by Johan Petter Norrlin in Biskra.^[3] Aino Henssen transferred it to the genus Peccania in 1990.^[2]

In Africa, Peccania tiruncula has been recorded from Algeria, Morocco, Namibia, and the Sahara; in the Arabian Peninsula, it is found in Oman. In 2016, it was noted to occur in Turkey; collections from this country were noted to grow alongside other lichens Synalissa symphorea and Psorotichia schaereri. Peccania tiruncula is also found in Europe and North America.^[4] It often grows in calcareous rocky habitats.^[5]
