Abstract

The present circumscription of the lichen family Parmeliaceae is reviewed. An enumeration of the 33 genera according to the present concept and their 204 species reported so far from the Indian sub-continent has been made. Six new combinations, viz., Nephromopsis laeteflava (Zahlbr.) Awasthi, N. leucostigma (Lev. in Jacq.) Awasthi, Parmelina mussooriensis (Awasthi), Parmotrema erhizinosum (Awasthi) Awasthi, P. stenopteris (Kurok.) Awasthi, and P. yodae (Kurok.) Awasthi are proposed.
