The genus Fuscopannaria is shown to be species rich in the East Asian flora, particular ly the F. leucosticta group: F. dispersa sp. nov. (China), F. dissecta sp. nov. (Japan), F. poeltii (P. M. Jorg.) P. M. Jorg. (Nepal, Tibet), F leucosticta (Tuck.) P. M. Jorg. (widespread), F. protensa (Hue) P. M. Jorg. (Japan & Korea) and F. siamensis sp. nov. (Thailand). In addition the F incisa group is dis cussed, and three Asian species recognized at the moment: F. incisa (Hue) P. M. Jorg., F. laceratula (Hue) P. M. Jorg. and F. subincisa (Zahlbr.) P. M. Jorg., comb. nov. Also a further species in the F. praetermissa group is described, F saltuensis sp. nov. from mountain forrests in the Himalayas. F. ahlneri (P. M. Jorg.) P. M. Jorg. is reported as new to Russia Primore; F. confusa (P. M. Jorg.) P. M. Jorg. and F. praetermissa (Nyl.) P. M. Jorg. are recorded as new to Japan, and F. sorediata P. M. Jorg. as new to Hawaii, China and India. Keys to critical species complexes are given. The F leucophaea (Vahl) P. M. Jorg. group (subg. Micropannaria P. M. Jorg.) is not so com monly present as in Pacific North America, and the few available specimen does not allow any fur ther splitting of taxa; on the contrary Pannaria fauriei Hue is considered to be a synonym of F. leucophaea
