Megaspora rimisorediata is a species of crustose lichen in the family Megasporaceae. Found in Iran, it was described as a new species in 2011. It is distinguished by its distinctive network of dark blue-green powdery granules that develop along cracks in the lichen's surface, which gives the species its name meaning 'crack-sorediate'. The lichen grows primarily on oak bark in mountainous steppe regions across northern Iran, where it appears to grow better during wetter winter months than in summer.

Lecaimmeria iranica is a species of crustose lichen in the family Lecideaceae. It forms a brown, cracked crust on rock, with the small fruiting bodies (apothecia) typically sunken into the thallus surface. The species was originally described in 2011 as Immersaria iranica and was transferred to the newly established genus Lecaimmeria in 2022. It can be distinguished from related species by its conspicuous pycnidia, which open by star-shaped cracks. The lichen occurs on calcareous and siliceous rock in montane steppes in Iran, Armenia, Kazakhstan, and China (Xinjiang/Inner Mongolia).
