J. carrollii J. djagensis J. dollypartoniana J. pacifica J. pruinosula J. tavaresiana J. variabilis Japewiella is a genus of lichen in the family Lecanoraceae.

It was circumscribed in 2000 by German botanist and lichenologist Christian Printzen as a segregate of the genus Japewia.

The genus name of Japewia was in honour of Peter Wilfrid James (1930 - 2014), who was an English botanist (Mycology and Lichenology).

The type, Japewiella carrollii, is an oceanic species that occurs in maritime regions of Europe and Macaronesia.

They have a well-developed excipulum (a saucer-shaped rim around the hymenium) comprising branched and anastomosing, gelatinized hyphae.
