Aglaopheniids were sampled from 48 survey locations in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands during September 2016 to January 2019. Seven species were encountered during the study period, of which three are first reports to India recorded from Andaman and Nicobar Islands, viz., Aglaophenia cupressina Lamouroux, 1816, Lytocarpia brevirostris (Busk, 1852) and L. delicatula (Busk, 1852). The descriptions of 4 species, viz., Gymnangium hians (Busk, 1852), Macrorhynchia philippina Kirchenpeuner, 1872, M. phoenicea (Busk, 1852) and Monoserius pennarius (Linnaeus, 1758), are provided after a taxonomic gap of 108 years from the Islands. Hydroids were observed to be growing on a variety of substrates; rocks, boulders, dead corals, polychaete tubes, ship hull and sand. Some associated fauna was catalogued as well such as the bivalve, Pterelectroma physoides (Lamarck, 1819) associated with G. hians (Busk, 1852), L. delicatula (Busk, 1852), M. phoenicea (Busk, 1852) and M. philippina Kirchenpauer, 1872. The hydroid specific nudibranch Lomanotus vermiformis Eliot, 1908 was observed on M. philippina Kirchenpauer, 1872 and an unidentified sea anemone was observed on the hydrocaulus of M. pennarius. The bathymetric distribution of the aglaopheniids were observed to be between 3–20m, with L. brevirostris and M. pennarius occurring in deeper waters, i.e., 10–20m.

Data on the distribution of 20 species of moths from the families Crambidae and Pyralidae in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India, are presented, with notes on their host plants and general distribution. Of these, 19 species, as well as the genus Pseudosacada Singh, Kirti et Ranjan, 2020, are recorded for the region for the first time. Agrioglypta excelsalis (Walker, 1866) is recorded for the first time for India. Most of the listed species are important agricultural and forest pests.

A world key to the genera Cryptothecia and Myriostigma is presented. Four species of Cryptothecia: C. albomaculans, C. elata, C. elongata and C. superphyllinica, and a Myriostigma: M. nicobaricum are described as new to science from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India. Cryptothecia albomaculans has a heteromerous thallus, whitish ascigerous areas not elevated above the thallus, ellipsoid, 9–11 × 3–5 septate ascospores of 47–57 × 24–30 µm and produces 2’-O-methylperlatolic acid. Cryptothecia elata has a homoiomerous thallus with distinctly raised ascomata, ascospores of (72–)84–122 × (25–)36–62(–72) µm and contains 2’-O-methylmicrophyllinic acid. Cryptothecia elongata has a heteromerous thallus, raised, irregular, 1–4 mm wide ascigerous areas covered by a photobiont layer, narrowly ellipsoid-oblong, 16–24 × 2–6 septate ascospores of 90–114 × 21–30 µm, and produces gyrophoric and lecanoric acids. Cryptothecia superphyllinica has a homoiomerous thallus, whitish, raised, rounded to linear ascigerous areas 0.5–1.5 mm in diam., broadly ovoid to ellipsoid, 9–15 × 3–6 septate ascospores of (45–)58–76(–80) × (22–)24–33(–38) µm and 2’-O-methylsuperphyllinic acid. Myriostigma nicobaricum has a homoiomerous thallus, whitish, raised, rounded, ascigerous areas 0.3–0.8 mm in diam.,  broadly ellipsoid to ovoid, 8–11 × 2–4 septate, 34–48 × 16–22 µm ascospores and confluentic acid. Cryptothecia aleurodes, C. eungellae and C. striata are new additions to the lichen biota of India. Ascospores of Cryptothecia eungellae are described for the first time and illustrated.
