Vahliella hookerioides is a species of squamulose lichen in the family Vahliellaceae. It was first formally described in 2000 by the Norwegian lichenologist Per Magnus Jørgensen, who classified it as a member of "Fuscopannaria". The type specimen was collected from Endovalley in Colorado, US. It is similar in morphology to "V. leucophaea" but has blackich apothecia, a more robust , and smaller, more rounded spores. Jørgensen transferred the taxon to the new genus "Vahliella" in 2008.
