Neoprotoparmelia fuscosorediata is a species of crustose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Found in Kenya, it was described as a new species in 2021 by lichenologists Klaus Kalb and André Aptroot. The type specimen was collected in the Nanyuki district of Central Province, where it was found growing on wood in a savannah, at an altitude of 2,050 m (6,730 ft). The specific epithet fuscosorediata refers to the colour of the soredia, which are pale brown to pale ochraceous.[1]
