P. kunmingensis P. loekoesiana P. opaca P. sublaevis Placolecis is a genus of lichen-forming fungi in the family Catillariaceae.

[2] It has four species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) and crustose lichens.

The genus was circumscribed by Italian botanist Vittore Benedetto Antonio Trevisan de Saint-Léon in 1857.

Josef Hafellner designated a lectotype for Placolecis balanina in 1984,[4] but subsequently, this taxon was folded into P. opaca.
