Schaereria parasemella is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Schaereriaceae.[2] It is lichenicolous, meaning it grows on other lichens; its host species is Biatora vernalis.[3] It has been recorded from Alaska, Greenland, Scandinavia, France, and Russia.[4]

The species was first scientifically described in 1868 by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander, as a species of Lecidea.[5] Helge Thorsten Lumbsch transferred it to the genus Schaereria in 1997.[6]
