The new genus Halegrapha is introduced, with six species (five new species and one new combination) from Australia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Kenya, Mexico, and the United States: H. chimaera Rivas Plata & Lucking (type species; Philippines), H. floridana Common & Lucking (United States: Florida), H. intergrapha Hale ex Lucking (Malaysia), H. kenyana Kalb & Lucking (Kenya), H. mexicana A. B. Pena & Lucking (Mexico), and H. mucronata (Stirt.) Lucking (Australia). The genus resembles Graphis morphologically in the strongly carbonized, black lirellae and white-grey thallus strongly encrusted with calcium oxalate crystals, but has a Phaeographis-type hymenium (clear in two species) and ascospores, making it a 'chimera' between the two genera. Molecular data suggest the genus to be closely related to Phaeographis and allies but genetically distinct from any of the genera currently recognized, including Platygramme.
