Allographa aptrootiana is a species of script lichen in the family Graphidaceae that is found in tropical Africa. It was formally described as a new species in 2014 by Dries Van den Broeck, Robert Lücking, and Damien Ertz. The type locality is (Orientale Province, Democratic Republic of the Congo; here it was found growing on the bark of an unidentified tree species in an evergreen forest. The lichen somewhat resembles in overall morphology, but unlike that species it has a completely carbonized (blackened) excipulum, and does not produce the secondary compound atranorin. The holotype specimen is parasitised with , a widespread tropical lichenicolous fungus. The specific epithet aptrootiana honours André Aptroot, "in recognition of his many contributions to tropical lichenology".^[2] The taxon was transferred to Allographa in 2018 following a reinstatement and reorganization of that genus.^[3]
