About
Ocellularia diminuta is a corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae. The species was described in 2014 from primary rainforest near Porto Velho in Rondônia, Brazil, where it grows on tree bark in shaded understory conditions. It forms olive-green patches with a slightly bumpy surface and produces small, rounded fruiting bodies that often lack a central column. The lichen is distinguished from similar species by its smaller size and shorter ascospores, and remains known only from its original collection locality.
