The genus Riccardia Gray has been recorded for the first time in Andaman & Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal and two species, viz. R. graeffei (Steph.) Hewson and R. tamariscina (Steph.) Schiffn. are described and illustrated. The former is new to these islands, while the latter is new to the Indian bryoflora.
