Capronia suijae is a little-known species of lichenicolous (lichen-dwelling) fungus in the family Herpotrichiellaceae. Found in Belarus, it was formally described as a new species in 2017 by Andrei Tsurykau and Javier Etayo. The type specimen was found growing on the thallus of the bark-dwelling, crustose lichen Xanthoria parietina. Capronia suijae is only known to occur at its original collection location.
