“…Zhang et al (2012) demonstrated that this species groups with Protoventuria alpina to form a distinct lineage of Dothideomycetes that should be regarded as Protoventuria . The type species of Ramalia, R. veronicae, was placed in the genus Fusicladium as F. veronicae by Sutton & Pascoe (1988).…”

With the change to one scientific name for fungal species, numerous papers have been published with recommendations for use or protection of competing generic names in major groups of ascomycetes. Although genera in each group of fungi were carefully considered, some competing generic names were overlooked. This paper makes recommendations for additional competing genera not considered in previous papers. Chairs of relevant Working Groups of the ICTF were consulted in the development of these recommendations. A number of generic names need protection, specifically Amarenographium over Amarenomyces, Amniculicola over Anguillospora, Balansia over Ephelis, Claviceps over Sphacelia, Drepanopeziza over Gloeosporidiella and Gloeosporium, Golovinomyces over Euoidium, Holwaya over Crinium, Hypocrella over Aschersonia, Labridella over Griphosphaerioma, Metacapnodium over Antennularia, and Neonectria over Cylindrocarpon and Heliscus. The following new combinations are made: Amniculicola longissima, Atichia maunauluana, Diaporthe columnaris, D. liquidambaris, D. longiparaphysata, D. palmicola, D. tersa, Elsinoë bucidae, E.caricae, E. choisyae, E. paeoniae, E. psidii, E. zorniae, Eupelte shoemakeri, Godronia myrtilli, G. raduloides, Sarcinella mirabilis, S. pulchra, Schizothyrium jamaicense, and Trichothallus niger. Finally, one new species name, Diaporthe azadirachte, is introduced to validate an earlier name, and the conservation of Discula with a new type, D. destructiva, is recommended.

Clavatispora thailandica gen. et sp. nov., a novel taxon of Venturiales (Dothideomycetes) from Thailand

An unusual wood-inhabiting fungus was found in northern Thailand. The combination of characters of this taxon, viz. setose, ostiolate ascomata, bitunicate asci, dark brown, wedge-shaped to clavate, muriform ascospores, and a hyphomycetous asexual state producing ellipsoidal, septate, highly constricted, holoblastic conidia is not found in any hitherto described genus of Dothideomycetes. An LSU phylogeny showed this taxon to be clearly placed in the family Sympoventuriaceae, Venturiales. The name Clavatispora thailandica gen. and sp. nov., is introduced to accommodate this taxon, which is described and illustrated and compared with other genera in this family.

“…Morphologically it fits Barr's concept of Neocoleroa. DNA sequences from the type specimen and from cultures grown from single ascospores from the type, place this species in the Sympoventuriaceae, sister to the Venturiaceae in the Venturiales (Zhang et al 2011). …”

Neocoleroa metrosideri is described as a new species and phylogenetically it is shown to belong in the Sympoventuriaceae, a recently established family, sister to the Venturiaceae. No other sequences are available for Neocoleroa but this new species is morphologically typical of the type species, with distinctive lobed to dichotomously branched, blunt-tipped setae on the superficial pseudothecia. The genus has previously been placed in the Pseudoperisporiaceae. This leaf spotting fungus is known from only a single specimen in an urban park but the same fungus has been detected also from two natural forest sites as an OTU in 454-based high throughput amplicon sequencing from DNA extracted from living leaves of Metrosideros excelsa.Keywords: LSU phylogeny, Metrosideros excelsa, New Zealand, Wentiomyces, 454 high throughput sequencingThe genera Neocoleroa Petrak (1934: 38) and Wentiomyces Koorders (1907: 168) have had a tangled taxonomic history. Kirk et al. (2008) Barr (1987, as Dimeriaceae) noted that some of these fungi are morphologically close to the Venturiaceae. This paper describes a new species Neocoleroa metrosideri, associated with leaf spots of Metrosideros excelsa. Morphologically it fits Barr's concept of Neocoleroa. DNA sequences from the type specimen and from cultures grown from single ascospores from the type, place this species in the Sympoventuriaceae, sister to the Venturiaceae in the Venturiales (Zhang et al. 2011). Materials and MethodsThe type specimen was examined when fresh, hymenial elements mounted in water; intact pseudothecia and adjacent host leaf tissues were rehydrated in 3% KOH and vertical sections were cut at a thickness of about 10 μm using a freezing microtome and mounted in lactic acid. Mature pseudothecia were crushed gently in 1% streptomycin solution, released ascospores streaked across a water agar plate and after 24 h single germinating ascospores transferred to Difco PDA, 2% Difco MEA, and Difco oatmeal agar plates. Cultures were described after 4 weeks. Specimens have been deposited in the PDD fungarium and ICMP culture collection.For DNA extraction, three separate extractions were done from single ascomata from three different leaves from PDD 107531 and from a culture derived from germinated ascospores from an ascoma from the collection. DNA was extracted and amplified using a REDExtract-N-Amp Plant PCR Kit (Sigma-Aldrich, USA), following the manufacturer's protocol except that the ascomata were ground in 30 μL extraction solution with a plastic pestle. Amplification primers for ITS were ITS1F and ITS4 (White et al. 1990, Gardes & Bruns 1993, for LSU were LR0R and LR5 (Vilgalys & Hester 1990, Bunyard et al. 1994. The DNA sequences from the all three fruiting bodies and from the culture were identical and have been accessioned in Genbank as KU131677 and KU131678.Additional LSU sequences were downloaded from Genbank, the taxon selection based on Machouart et al.
