Austrographa is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Roccellaceae. It has three species.[2] The genus was circumscribed in 2013 by lichenologists Laurens Sparrius, John Elix, and Alan Archer, with Austrographa kurriminensis assigned as the type species.[3] The genus had been published invalidly on two separate occasions.[4][5] All three species in the genus were found in a mangrove stand in Queensland, Australia. The genus was discovered in Australia, and the name Austrographa reflects this.[4]
