The original documented specimens were collected from New Zealand, at Rangituhi / Colonial Knob in Wellington, where they were growing on leaves of Polystichum hispidum.
[3] Enterographa bella is characterised by a pale greyish to translucent thallus that often forms small circular spots (typically 0.4–1 mm wide), which can merge into larger colonies.
[2] The major secondary metabolite (lichen product) present in Enterographa bella is psoromic acid.
[5] The South American species Enterograph falcata has external and anatomical characteristics that are similar in appearance to E. bella.
[6] Although Enterographa bella considered for several decades after its discovery to be endemic to New Zealand, its recorded occurrence in Victoria, Australia expanded its known distribution.
