It was first formally described in 1803 by French botanist André Michaux, as Physcia exilis. Finnish lichenologist Edvard Vainio transferred the taxon to the genus Teloschistes in 1890. The lichen is found in the Americas. Secondary metabolites (lichen products) that have been identified from the lichen include parietin and teloschistin.
