Parmeliella triptophylloides is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) lichen in the family Pannariaceae.

Found in east Africa, it was formally described as a new species in 2003 by Norwegian lichenologist Per Magnus Jørgensen.

The type specimen was collected by Dutch mycologist Rudolf Arnold Maas Geesteranus in 1949, from the Cherang'any Hills (Trans-Nzoia County, Kenya) at an elevation of 900 m (3,000 ft).

[2] Parmeliella triptophylloides has a thallus that is both crustose (crusty) and squamulose (scaley), and in maturity breaks into areoles.

The lichen is somewhat similar in morphology to Parmeliella triptophylla; the specific epithet triptophylloides refers to this resemblance.
