The taxonomy of the family Teloschistaceae is undergoing tremendous changes in recent times. India has rich diversity of Teloschistaceae with over 100 taxa. The huge specimen collections of Teloschistaceae housed at LWG are revisited and three species, Oxneria huculica, Variospora flavescens and Zeroviella esfahanensis are reported as new records for India. The paper also discuss some interesting observation on Golubkovaea trachyphylla, Seirophora contortuplicata, Massjukiella candelaria and M. polycarpa

This paper describes a collection of Cumaceans from intertidal macroalgae on the shores of the Andaman Islands containing two new species viz. Bodotria andamanensis sp. nov. of the family Bodotriidae, Gynodiastylis bacescui sp. nov. of the family Gynodiastylidae and five species of the family Nannastacidae of which three species viz. Cumella forficuloides Băcescu & Muradian, 1975, Nannastacus goniatus Gamô, 1962 and Scherocumella nichollsi Hale, 1945 are recorded for the first time from India. Bodotria andamanensis sp. nov. is characterized by having two large visual elements, the first segment of the pereon hardly visible dorsally, maxilliped 3 with robust articles, a short uropod, rami with two articles; Gynodiastylis bacescui sp. nov. is characterized by an elongated carapace, a rounded and large telson, reaching half of the length of the uropodal peduncle, the basis of maxilliped 3 with a short outer plumose seta, and a uropodal endopod with three articles.

Three alcyonacean corals—Sarcophyton acutum Tixier-Durivault, 1970, S. latum (Dana, 1846) and S. spongiosum Thompson & Dean, 1931—under the family Alcyoniidae are reported from Andaman Islands as new records to Indian waters.  The paper deals with the detailed taxonomic description of these three newly recorded alcyonacean species along with a note on their previously known distribution.

Aplousobranchia represents the largest order under the class Ascidiacea.  Two reef associated aplousobranch ascidians, Rhopalaea macrothorax Tokioka, 1953 under the family Diazonidae and Clavelina robusta Kott, 1990 under the family Clavelinidae, found from the Andaman group of islands are reported as new records to the Indian waters.  The present paper describes the taxonomic characters and distribution of these two newly recorded species.

The present communication includes a list of 411 species of lichens under 147 genera reported or described from India after the publication of “Indian Lichens: An Annotated Checklist” by Singh and Sinha (2010). According to latest issue of Plant Discoveries 2016 (Singh and Dash, 2017) 2511 species of lichens are known from India. However, a thorough collation including less popular and online journals where taxonomic novelties in the form of new records are not mentioned, revealed significant increase during the past seven years. By addition of 411 species to the list of Singh and Sinha (2010), now the total number of lichens for India raises up to 2714 species. However, due to nomenclature changes and synonymy, revisions, etc. this data may change. Few species which were not included in Singh and Sinha (2010) are also included in this list. Species simply transferred to other genera without affecting the number tally are not listed here. Like-wise obligate lichenicolous and non-lichenized fungi are not included in the present list. The current list indicates that large number of taxa are reported from the family Graphidaceae (106 spp.) where genus Graphis alone counts 34 species. Large number of taxa are also reported from order Arthoniales (52 species) with Opegrapha representing 17 species. The species listed here follows the pattern of; species name (in bold), reference, and name of the state from where the species is reported. For the references cited in this paper readers may refer ‘Bibliography to the Indian lichens from the year 2010 onwards’ by Joseph et. al. (2018) published in the same issue of this journal.

The diversity of the lichen family Cladoniaceae in the Neotropics is apparently underestimated. A revision of the family for the Flora of the Guianas resulted in the description of 10 species new to science from Northern South America: Cladonia cayennensis; Cladonia flavocrispata; Cladonia isidiifera; Cladonia maasii; Cladonia mollis; Cladonia persphacelata; Cladonia recta; Cladonia rupununii; Cladonia subsphacelata; Cladonia termitarum.
