Three previously unknown members of the lichen genus Neofuscelia Essl. are described: N. esterhuyseniae Essl., N. nonreagens Essl., and N. pseudoloriloba Essl. New South African records for other members of the genus are given as well, and N. subimitatrix (Essl.) Essl. is reported from New Zealand for the first time. Apothecia of the recently described South African genus Almbornia Essl. have been observed for the first time and they are typically parmeliaceous.
