Diploschistes (crater lichen) is a genus of crustose lichens with a thick, cracked (areolate) body (thallus) with worldwide distribution.[2]: 264 [3][4] The fruiting part (apothecia) are immersed in the thick thallus so as to have the appearance of being small "craters".[2]: 264
It is in the family Thelotremataceae. The widespread genus contains about 43 species.[5] Johannes Musæus Norman described the genus in an 1853 publication.[6]
