Myeloconis guyanensis is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Trichotheliaceae.[1] Found in the coastal lowlands of eastern Guyana, it was formally described as a new species in 1996 by Patrick M. McCarthy and John Elix. Characteristics of the lichen include the prominent [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] on the [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], its yellow, [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] medulla, and the variety of lichen products found in the medulla.[2]
