From the studies conducted from Andaman region, a few new species and new records have been documented.is characterized by superficial ascomata, or beneath the host periderm, thick carbonaceous walls with central ostioles, brown fusiform ascospores, hyphomycetous or ceolomycetous anarmophs. In the present paper, we introduce two new species, viz. and and report two new records i.e and .
