Hypotrachyna paraphyscioides is a species of foliose lichen in the family Parmeliaceae. Described in 2011 from a single specimen collected in Colombia's Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta at nearly 2,900 metres elevation, this lichen is distinguished by its unusual forked marginal hairs and complete lack of attachment structures on its underside. It forms loose, rosette-shaped colonies on tree bark and is known only from its original discovery site in montane forest.
