Flavopunctelia darrowii is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae.

It was first formally described as a new species by John Walter Thomson in 1950 as Parmelia darrowi.

[1] In 1982, Hildur Krog transferred it to the subgenus Flavopunctelia of her newly circumscribed genus Punctelia, created to contain Parmelia species with punctate (point-like) pseudocyphellae.

[2] Mason Hale raised this subgenus to generic status a couple of years later.

[3] The lichen is endemic to the American oak-pine forests of southern Arizona and higher elevations in Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico.
