Phaeographopsis is a genus of script lichens in the family Graphidaceae. It has three species.[1][2]
The genus was circumscribed by the Dutch lichenologist Harrie Sipman in 1997, with P. indica assigned as the type species; this species had originally been described as a member of Phaeographis.[3] However, this species was not validly published because it did not provide a specific page number, but rather a range of pages (an interval) where the original description could be found. This general reference to a range of pages does not meet the precise requirements of the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants. The name was published validly a decade later in 2007.[4]
