Schistophoron indicum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Found in India, it was formally described as a new species in 2011. It is distinguished by its elongated, slit-like fruiting bodies that contain a powdery spore mass, and by its dark brown ascospores, which are broadly oval to nearly round in shape, divided into two to four cells, have smooth walls, and are relatively small in size.

Mazosia lueckingii is a species of foliicolous (leaf-dwelling) lichen in the family Roccellaceae. It is found in India. This lichen forms thin, greyish-brown to yellowish-brown crusts on dicotyledon leaves, with a surface covered in small brown wart-like bumps filled with colourless crystals and minute black reproductive discs that sit flush with the surface. Described as new to science in 2008, it is distinguished by its crystal-filled verrucae, dark hypothallus, and relatively large spores divided by 4–5 cross-walls.
