“…However, H. flavominutum can easily be distinguished by the UV+ yellow thallus (lichexanthone and norlichexanthone). Herpothallon adnatum G. Thor is the other species known from Peru having similar pseudisidia, but differs in having a red prothallus and confluentic acid as the lichen substance (Aptroot et al 2009; Jagadeesh Ram & Sinha 2009).…”

“…Aptroot et al (2009) reinstated the genus and redefined the generic circumscription, and recognized 29 species worldwide. Since then, Frisch et al (2010 a , b ), Jagadeesh Ram et al (2009), Jagadeesh Ram & Sinha (2009, 2011) and Cheng et al (2012) have added eight more species to the genus. Recently, Frisch & Thor (2010) placed two species ( Herpothallon albidum and H. mycelioides ) in the newly established genus Crypthonia Frisch & G. Thor ( Arthoniaceae ), because of the morphological resemblance with Crypthonia .…”

Aptroot & Lücking were added as new records for India (Jagadeesh Ram et al 2009; Jagadeesh Ram & Sinha 2009, 2011). All these reports are based on material from a few parts of Eastern India (Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Sikkim and West Bengal).…”

Eight species of Herpothallon are recorded from the Andaman Islands, four of which are described as new: Herpothallon coralloides, H. globuliferum, H. lutescens and H. minutum. All these new species have a non-pigmented thallus, prothallus, hypothallus and pseudisidia. Herpothallon coralloides and H. lutescens possess cylindrical pseudisidia whereas H. globuliferum and H. minutum have granular to globose pseudisidia. Herpothallon globuliferum is foliicolous. Herpothallon echinatum, H. granulare, H. granulosum and H. philippinum are reported for the first time from the Andaman Islands.A key to the Indian species is provided. Heiomasia pallescens (Graphidaceae), a byssoid taxon with a disc-shaped isidioid structure, is also described as new to science.

“…These collections were studied by Awasthi (1961) who reported 42 species of macrolichens. Subsequently, based on new collections in the state, some additional publications on foliicolous lichens, new species, and new records for India have been made (e.g., Pinokiyo et al 2004;Dubey et al 2007Dubey et al , 2010Pinokiyo et al 2008;Singh and Pinokiyo 2008;Singh andSwarnlatha 2011a, 2011b;Jagadeesh Ram and Sinha 2011;Upreti et al 2011;Singh and Singh 2012a, 2012b, 2012cSingh et al 2013;Joshi et al 2014). Recently, a publication on foliicolous lichens of India (Singh and Pinokiyo 2014) recorded 98 species from Arunachal Pradesh.…”
