A new species, Graphis andamanica Swarnal., is described from Andaman Islands in India. It is characterized by a completely carbonized excipulum, entire labia, a hymenium being inspersed with cinnamon red granules, hyaline, transversely septate ascospores, and by the presence of stictic and constictic acids.
Schistophoron indicum, a new lichen species, is described from India. It is characterized by lirellate mazaediate ascomata and dark brown, broadly ellipsoid to subglobose, bilocular to tetralocular-submuriform, smooth-walled, small ascospores.
The paper proposes 8 new combinations viz. Diorygma radiatum, Graphis darjeelingensis, G. awasthii, Hemithecium dispersa, Pallidogramme chrysenterodes, P. nilgiriensis, Phaeographis ceylonensis and P. dividens. Two species Helminthocarpon album and H. cherrapunjiense are made as synonyms to Diorygma radiatum.
