Abstract

Enterographa fellhaneroides and E. meklitiae are described as new to science from Kakamega Forest in Western Kenya. The latter overgrows the thallus of a foliicolous non-filamentous Coenogonium and the former most probably has the same ecology. Both species appear to be closely related to E. brezhonega and E. epiphyllum.
