Arg.) Egea & Torrente,  Dictyomeridium campylothelioides (Aptroot & Sipman) Aptroot et al. and Stirtonia rhizophorae Kalb & Mongkolsuk are reported as new records for India. The identity of previously reported Chiodecton malmei G. Thor (Jagadeesh Ram 2015b) is corrected. The apothecium of Pyxine keralensis D.D. Awasthi is described for the first time.
