As part of ongoing studies of the lichenized mycobiota of the Aotearoa / New Zealand archipelago we provide formal documentation of the occurrence of Alyxoria ochrocheila, Anisomeridium anisolobum, Fissurina dumastii, Porina americana and Zwackhia viridis. Through their formal documentation in peer-reviewed literature these species can now be accepted as new additions to the lichenized mycobiota of that region.

Keywords: Alyxoria ochrocheila, Anisomeridium anisolobum, Fissurina dumastii, Porina americana, Zwackhia viridis, Aotearoa / New Zealand, lichenized mycobiota, new additions
