Growing on apothecial disc of epilithic. Since slight discoloration on the apothecial disc

of the lichen infected by the new species was noticed, thisfungus may be regarded as a saprophyte.

The species is so far reported fromsubalpine regions of Uttarakhand where it is parasitizing thethallus of along with (Tul.)Th. Fr., (Jaap) D. Hawksw. and

Triebel. The specimens fromMunsiyari region are representing the teleomorphic stage ofthis new species, while that from Gangotri region representsanamorphic stage.

The lichenicolous fungus Vain.at present comprises of 15 species across the world (Joshi

Joshi, R.Bajpai and Upreti].In having somewhat similar size of ascus and ascospore, thenew species resembles to some extent with(Speg.) Hafellner and (Diederich andFreebury) Diederich and Freebury differs inhaving a bigger perithecia (250- -120(-

Growing on thalli of epiphytic .Since thallus of lichen infected by the new species is scarcelyaffected and no deformation or discoloration was noticed, thisfungus can be regarded as a commensalist.

So far, the species is reported only fromtype locality.

The lichenicolous genus Fée tillnow is represented by 38 species across the world (Lawreyand Diederich, 2018), of which only three species are knownto have more than 3-septate ascospores, R.Sant., Diederich andDiederich and Etayo (Ertz ., 2005).

and can easily be discernedfrom the new species by the presence of 6-septate ascosporesand different hosts Vain. andDill. ex Adans., respectively ( ).

the other known species of the genus with 5-septateascospores differs from the new species in several characters,such as, presence of dark brown sterile stromatic tissue whichis K+ olivaceous and N+ red-brown, Atra-brown pigment,smaller ascospores [20-27 × 7-8 µm vs (25-)27.5-30(-31) ×(7-)7.5-10(-12.5) µm] and a different host P.Browne ( ).Generally the species of used to colonizelichens of different genera of , but rarelymembers of ( ), and this is for thefirst time it is being reported on .Hafellner, is a genus next to and one of itscommon species (Nyl.)Haellner, having similar ascomatal features (i.e. ascomatalsurface riddled with numerous punctiform holes) and same

generic host . need not to be confused with thenew species, as the ascospores in are not onlybigger and narrower than that of new species [30-35 × 4.5-6µm vs (25-)27.5-30(-31) × (7-)7.5-10(-12.5) µm] but alsohave a hyaline perispore with a long caudate appendage at oneend. The mature spores of the new species have a dark browngranulose perispore and always lacks the caudate appendage.Besides this, Atra-brown pigment is always present in thecarbonized layer of which is absent in thenew species.

So far, the species is reported only fromtype locality.

The lichenicolous genus Nyl. tilldate is represented by 10 species across the world (Lawreyand Diederich, 2018), of which only 2 species are known tohave 4-spored asci, Nyl. and

Matzer. Among them is themost common and widely distributed species colonizingvarious hosts ( (L.) Körb.,(Huds.) Rebent., (Ach.) J. Steiner,

Hafellner, 1990; Triebel , 1991; Galloway, 2007) anddiffers from the new species in having thicker peridium (30-40 µm) and bigger asci (60-90 × 12-18 µm) whichoccasionally may be 8-spored and have larger (2-)3(-4)-septate ascospores [20-25(-30) × 7-10 µm] (Navarro-Rosinésand Cl. Roux, 2007). differs from the newspecies in having a different host preference

(Zahlbr.) Elix, Lumbsch & Lücking, larger ascomata(110-150 × 100-120 µm) and smaller ascospores [(12-)13-15.5(-18) × 5-6 µm] which sometimes are 2-septate and theseptum can be oblique (Matzer, 1996).

The following forty nine species are new to Indianlichenicolous mycobiota:
