Abstract: Thirteen species of lichens and one related are reported as new to the Eastern Leningrad Region. Two of them – Arthonia incarnata and Nephromopsis laureri – are also new to the whole Leningrad Region. One species – Lauder- lindsaya acroglypta – is new to North-Western European Russia. Kokkuvõte: Uued teated Leningradi rajooni idaosa samblike ja lähedaste seente kohta. Teatatakse kolmteistkümne sambliku- ja ühe seeneliigi esmasleidudest Leningradi rajooni idaosas. Neist kaks liiki – Artho- nia incarnata ja Nephromopsis laureri – on uued kogu Leningradi rajoonile. Üks liik – Lauderlindsaya acroglypta – on uus Loode-Venemaale.

Introduction In 2007 an annotated catalogue of the - rga Motiejūnaitė; TA – Teuvo Ahti; B – Boksi- forming, lichenicolous and allied fungi of the togorsk District; L – Lodeynoe Pole District; P Eastern Leningrad Region was published – Podporozh’e District. The species included in (Kuznetsova et al., 2007). It included 520 species the Red Data Book of Nature of the Leningrad and two infraspecific taxa.
