摘要：The knowledge about lichenicolous fungi and lichenicolous lichens occurring in India is summarized. Data on altogether 105 taxa are presented of which 51 species viz. Abrothallus parmeliarum, Acremonium lichenicola, Arthonia clemens, A. epiphyscia, A. phaeophysciae, A. subconveniens, Bellemerella acarosporae, Briancoppinsia cytospora, Buelliella lecanorae, B. minimula, B. protoparmeliopseos, Caeruleoconidia ochrolechiae, Carbonea aggregantula, C. assimilis, Cercidospora caudata, C. werneri, Dactylospora homoclinella, D. saxatilis, Didymocyrtis ramalinae, Endococcus propinquus, E. perpusillus, Geltingia associata, Intralichen lichenicola, Kalchbrenneriella cyanescens, Labrocarpon canariensis, Lichenochora verrucicola, Lichenoconium lecanorae, Lichenostigma maureri, L. triseptatum, Lichenothelia convexa, Monerolechia badia, Muellerella lichenicola, M. ventosicola, Odontotrema pertusariae, Opegrapha brigantina, Polycoccum microsticticum, P. peltigerae, Polysporina subfuscescens, Rhymbocarpus pertusariae, Sclerococcum simplex, S. sphaerale, Sphaerellothecium atryneae, S. contextum, S. propinquellum, S. reticulatum, Spirographa fusisporella, Stigmidium cerinae, S. frigidum, S. xanthoparmeliarum, Taeniolella delicata and Zwackhiomyces lecanorae are recorded for the first time from India. Of these 105 species, 103 species are lichenicolous fungi and two species of lichens occur on other lichens, which makes the country one of the best-studied areas in Asia regarding lichenicolous mycobiota. Nine species of lichenicolous fungi or lichens are reported from new host genera. Dendriscocaulon umhausense , reported from Kerala and Tamil Nadu, is excluded from the study, since it is not lichenicolous but forms a photomorph
