Three new species of Graphidaceae, Allographa binsarensis, Graphis albothallina, and G. moriensis, are described as new to science from the Western Himalayan part of India. Allographa binsarensis differs from the closely related A. semirigida in having short, mostly unbranched lirellae with lateral thalline margins; G. albothallina differs from G. appendiculata in having much prominent lirellae with distinctly striate labia and white lineages along the striae; while G. moriensis differs from G. astrolirellata in having transversely septate ascospores. Graphis makhijae is proposed as a replacement name for G. fulvescens. Keywords: Allographa, Asia, Graphidales, Graphis, Hemithecium, Uttarakhand.
