Abstract

The new species, Lecanora luteomarginata and L. subpraesistens, are described from northern India. The first is characterized by apothecia with dark brown discs and bright yellow margins, while L. subpraesistens is a multispored species that is readily distinguished by an egranulose epihymenium and a melacarpella-type amphithecium.
