Abstract
The study hereby describes the occurrence of a new record of Parmelioid-lichenized fungi Canomaculina haitiensis (Hale) Elix from India. The species is described on nylon net house from western Himalaya. A revised key to the genus Canomaculina in India is provided incorporating the new record.
