Thirty six species of lichenicolous fungi are reported from India, all but one
being new to the country. Endococcus incrassatus and Monodictys epilepraria are new to
Asia. Endocarpon and Melanelixia are new host genera for Endococcus incrassatus and
Lichenoconium xanthoriae respectively. Cladosporium licheniphilum is for the first time
reported on Xanthoria candelaria, as is Corticifraga peltigerae on Peltigera elisabethae
and P. ponojensis, and Nectriopsis lecanodes on Peltigera elisabethae and P. scabrosa. Two
possibly undescribed species of lichenicolous fungi, viz. Cercidospora sp. on Lecanora sp.
and Lichenostigma subgen. Lichenogramma sp. on Seirophora contortuplicata, are briefly
described and discussed. Host lichens Peltigera ponojensis, P. scabrosa and Seirophora
contortuplicata are new to India.
Key words: Asia, biogeography, India, lichen-inhabiting fungi, lichens, taxonomy.
