ABSTRACT = {As a part of ongoing revisionary studies of the Indian Verrucariaceae, the type specimen of <i>Awasthiella indica</i> was re-examined, which revealed additional characters for the genus. Additionally, <i>A. amarkantakana</i> is proposed as new to science. The new species is characterized by continuous to rimose-areolate, pale-grey to brownish-grey thallus, completely immersed perithecia arising marginally to submarginally, 8-spored asci and simple, hyaline ascospores measuring 20–30 × 7–12.5 µm. The new taxon is distributed in central and south India.},
