Cryptogam Biodiversity and Assessment Cryptogam Biodiversity and Assessment Special Volume (2018), e-ISSN :2456-0251, 197-206 Additions to the checklist of Indian lichens after 2010 G.P. Sinha1, Sanjeeva Nayaka2* and Siljo Joseph2 1 2 Botanical Survey of India, Central Regional Centre, 10-Chatham Lines, Allahabad – 211 002, Uttar Pradesh, India Lichenology Laboratory, CSIR-National Botanical Research Institute, Rana Pratap Marg, Lucknow – 226 001, Uttar Pradesh, India ABSTRACT Publication Info Article history: Received : 17.01.2018 Accepted : 18.01.2018 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21756/ cab.esp16 Key words: Lichen Checklist, New Species, New Records, Biodiversity, India *Corresponding author: Email:nayaka.sanjeeva@gmail.com 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.
