Dermatocarpon is a genus of lichens in the family Verrucariaceae.[2]

Members of the genus are commonly called stippleback lichens because they have fruiting structures called perithecia that are flask-shaped structures embedded in the nonfruiting body (thallus), with a hole in the top to release spores, causing an appearance of being covered with small black dots.[3]: 35
