They were taxonomically investigated, which revealed the presence of two new species, i.e. Feldmannia nizamuddinii Aisha et Shameel and Hincksia nizamuddinii Aisha et Shameel and two new combinations i.e. Feldmannia duchassaingiana (Grunow) Aisha et Shameel and Hincksia conifer (Børgesen) Aisha et Shameel. Most of the species have been taxonomically described for the first time from the coast of Pakistan. %8 2011-05-02
