Abstract
Remototrachyna adducta (Nyl.) Divakar & A. Crespo is reported for the first time for Uttarakhand lichen flora from India (Western Himalayan range). A description of the material is provided and difference from closely related species, with which it has been confused, is discussed along with its distributional range and habitat associations. Besides this new locality, the species was previously known from montane regions of Eastern Himalaya.
