Seems odd that they would be new for NC since both have occurred in Maryland, where there is at least one record for Norape ovina and at least 3 records for Leptostales rubromarginaria. Forbes (1923) lists N ovina as occurring from Wash DC southwards. Forbes (1948) gives the range for rubromarginaria Quebec to BC and south. I have no evidence of the latter species ever having occurred in NY.
