Diplotomma is a genus of lichenized fungi in the family Caliciaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 29 species.[2] The genus was circumscribed by Julius von Flotow in 1849.[3] It was later wrapped into Buellia before being segregated from that genus by David Hawksworth in 1980.[4]
