In the present study, Sarcogynebalochistanensis sp. nov. is described and illustrated. The taxon is characterized by pale-white farinose thallus, polysporine type apothecia with quite taller hymenium, light brown sub-hymenium, large-wider asci and comparatively elongate and wider ascospores, these characters distinguish it from other species of the genus with a carbonized epihymenium. The ITS and LSU based phylogenetic analyses also support the identity of this species as new to science. A complete taxonomic treatment including description based on two collected material is provided along with molecular phylogenic analyses.
