Summary
This paper gives an account of lichenicolous fungi colonising members of the lichen-forming family Teloschistaceae from India. A new species, Lichenochora ajaysinghii, colonising Caloplaca saxicola is described and a key to so-far-known lichenicolous fungi colonising Indian Teloschistaceae taxa is provided.
