A new species, Chlorovibrissea korfii, is described and illustrated, which is distinct from other members of the genus by the overall pale greenish apothecia 0.8–2.0 mm in diam. and 0.6–1.5 mm high, J+ asci 70–83 × 4.5–5.5 μm, and non-septate ascospores 44–52 × 1.2–1.5 μm. This is the first species of Chlorovibrissea reported from northern hemisphere. Vibrissea flavovirens is reported from China for the first time. Sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer of nuclear ribosomal DNA are used to confirm the affinity of the two taxa.
