Dyplolabia Oryzoides
''Dyplolabia'' is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Graphidaceae. These lichens form smooth, rather thick grey-yellow to olive-buff crusts on tree bark and are characterized by narrow, elongate fruiting bodies that are commonly hidden beneath a conspicuous white powdery coating. The genus has a pantropical distribution, growing on the smooth bark of trees and shrubs in both shaded rainforest understories and moderately exposed coastal woodlands, where they serve as indicators of long-established woodland habitat. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by the Italian lichenologist Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo in 1854, with '' Dyplolabia afzelii'' assigned as the type species. Description ''Dyplolabia'' produces a smooth, rather thick grey-yellow to olive-buff crust (thallus) that lacks a protective . Its fruit bodies are narrow, elongate 1–6 mm long, commonly hidden beneath a conspicuous white . The sides of each lirella are deeply , while the top is cover ...

Dyplolabia Afzelii
''Dyplolabia afzelii'' is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), script lichen in the family Graphidaceae. It has a pantropical distribution. The lichen has a thallus with colours ranging from yellow to pale olive buff, dark brownish tan, or grey, characterised by its smooth texture and considerable thickness. Its ascomata are (elongated with a slit-like opening), often raised from the thallus surface and concealed under a powdery white layer. Taxonomy The lichen was first formally described by the Swedish lichenologist Erik Acharius in 1814, as a member of the genus '' Graphis''. Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo transferred it to the genus '' Dyplolabia'' in 1854. Description The lichen species ''Dyplolabia afzelii'' is characterised by a thallus with a range of colours from yellow to pale olive buff, dark brownish tan, or grey. The texture of the thallus is smooth and it has a considerable thickness. Abramo Bartolommeo Massalongo transferred it to the genus '' Dyplolabia'' i ...

Type Species
In International_Code_of_Zoological_Nomenclature, zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological Type (biology), type wiktionary:en:specimen, specimen (or specimens). Article 67.1 A similar concept is used for suprageneric groups and called a type genus. In botanical nomenclature, these terms have no formal standing under the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants, code of nomenclature, but are sometimes borrowed from zoological nomenclature. In botany, the type of a genus name is a specimen (or, rarely, an illustration) which is also the type of a species name. The species name with that type can also be referred to as the type of the genus name. Names of genus and family ranks, the various subdivisions of those ranks, and some higher-rank names based on genus names, have suc ...
