The paper reports 21 foliicolous species of lichen genus Porina Müll. Arg. from Arunachal Pradesh, India along with a key for their identification. 3 species viz. Porina applanata Vainio, Porina napensis Lücking, Porina tetramera (Malme) R. Sant. are new records for Indian lichen flora. Phytogeographic affinities and distribution of species in India are discussed.
