Krogia microphylla is a rare species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), squamulose (scaley) lichen in the family Ramalinaceae.[1] Found in the Dominican Republic, it was formally described as a new species in 2011 by lichenologist Einar Timdal. The type specimen was collected from a cloud forest in El Seibo Province at an altitude of about 450 m (1,480 ft). It is only known from the type collection. The species epithet refers to the tiny squamules (up to 0.3 mm wide) that make up the thallus.[2]
