D iscussions The present survey of lignicolous marine fungi reveals (11) species Halosphaeriaceae,(5) species Pleosporaceae and (4) species Dematiaceae (Table 1) (fig 1). Collecting procedure and a brief description of these fungi are also presented. (5) Species were reported for the first time in Libya: Ceriosporopsis cambrensis Wilson, Halosphaeria circumvestita Kohlm., Lulworthia medusa (Ellis & Everh) Cribb & Cribb, Verroculina enalia Kohlm (Ascomycetes) Cirrenalia macrocephla (Kohlm.) Meyers & Moore (Hyphomycetes). The new recorded Ascomycetous species, Ceriosporopsis cambrensis Wilson and Halosphaeria circumvestita Kohlm. First reports for Libya, previously reported in the Bay of Fundy and eastern coast Canada (11). Lulworthia medusa, Meyers & Moore, This species is closely related to other members of the genus, mainly L .grandispora, Meyers and Moore. The only differentiated character can be 2. 3. 4.
