Graphis sitapurensis is a species of script lichen in the family Graphidaceae.[1] Found on the Andaman Islands, it was formally described as a new species in 2005 by Urmila Makhija and Bharati Adawadkar. The type specimen was collected from a moist deciduous forest in Sitapur (Diglipur Range, North Andaman Island). The species epithet refers to the type locality. The ascomata (fruiting bodies) of the lichen are in the form of [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]],[2] which are elongated and irregularly branched with a concealed [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]]; this particular set of characteristics is known as the deserpens-morph.[3]
