Pallidogramme parvicarpa is a species of bark-dwelling script lichen in the family Graphidaceae.[2] It was described as a new species in 2011 by Bharati Sharma and Pradnya Khadilkar from collections made in the Nandi Hills of Karnataka, India, where it grows in semi-evergreen forests. The species was first described as a member of the genus Graphis,[3] but reclassified into Pallidogramme by Robert Lücking in 2014.[4] Characteristics of Pallidogramme parvicarpa include the grooves around the tissue supporting the fruiting bodies (the exciple), a spore-bearing layer hymenium containing oil droplets, ascospores divided into many small chambers (muriform), and the presence of norstictic acid in the thallus.[3]
