Paradevriesiaceae) (based on P. americana) from air (USA); Phaeoseptoriella (based on P. zeae) on leaves of Zea mays (South Africa); Piniphoma (based on P. wesendahlina) on wood debris of Pinus sylvestris (Germany); Pseudoconiothyrium (based on P. broussonetiae) on branch of Broussonetia papyrifera (Italy); Sodiomyces (based on S. alkalinus) from soil (Mongolia), and Turquoiseomyces (incl. Turquoiseomycetales and Turquoiseomycetaceae) (based on T. eucalypti) on leaves of Eucalyptus leptophylla (Australia); Typhicola (based on T. typharum) on leaves of Typha sp. (Germany); Xenodevriesia (incl. Xenodevriesiaceae) (based on X. strelitziicola) on leaves of Strelitzia sp. (South Africa). New species include: Bacillicladium clematidis on branch of Clematis vitalbae (Austria); Cercospora gomphrenigena on leaves of Gomphrena globosa (South Africa); Cyphellophora clematidis on Clematis vitalba (Austria); Exophiala abietophila on bark of Abies alba (Norway); Exophiala lignicola on fallen decorticated trunk of Quercus sp. (Ukraine); Fuscostagonospora banksiae on Banksia sp. (Australia); Gaeumannomycella caricicola on dead leaf of Carex remota (Germany); Hansfordia pruni on Prunus persica twig (Italy) (incl. Hansfordiaceae); Microdochium rhopalostylidis on Rhopalostylis sapida (New Zealand); Neocordana malayensis on leaves of Musa sp. (Malaysia); Neocucurbitaria prunicola on fallen twigs of Prunus padus (Ukraine); Neocucurbitaria salicis-albae on Salix alba twig (Ukraine); Neohelicomyces deschampsiae on culm base of dead leaf sheath of Deschampsia cespitosa (Germany); Pararoussoella juglandicola on twig of Juglans regia (Germany); Pezicula eucalyptigena on leaves of Eucalyptus sp. (South Africa); Phlogicylindrium dunnii on leaves of Eucalyptus dunnii (Australia); Phyllosticta hagahagaensis on leaf litter of Carissa bispinosa (South Africa); Phyllosticta austroafricana on leaf spots of unidentified deciduous tree host (South Africa); Pseudosigmoidea alnicola on Alnus glutinosa leaf litter (Germany); Pseudoteratosphaeria africana on leaf spot on unidentified host (Angola); Porodiplodia vitis on canes of Vitis vinifera (USA); Sodiomyces alkalinus from soil (Mongolia), Sodiomyces magadiensis and Sodiomyces tronii from soil (Kenya), Sympodiella quercina on fallen leaf of Quercus robur (Germany) and Zasmidium hakeicola on leaves of Hakea corymbosa (Australia). Epitypes are designated for: Cryptostictis ...

“…Notes -Parafenestella was recently treated (Jaklitsch et al 2018, Valenzuela-Lopez et al 2018, Crous et al 2019b, and shown to have phoma-like asexual morphs. Within the genus Parafenestella, P. pittospori is phylogenetically distinct from other species known from DNA sequence data.…”

A Novel Exophiala Species Associated With Disseminated Granulomatous Inflammation in a Captive Eastern Hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis)

“…The phylogenetic tree inferred from maximum likelihood (Figure 3) showed our isolate within a monophyletic clade (BPP 0.99/ BT 93%) comprising mostly of waterborne species, i.e., E. opportunistica, E. lacus, E. cancerae, E. psychrophila, E. salmonis, E. aquamarina, E. pisciphila (7) and other species originally isolated from non-aquatic sources, i.e., E. bonariae (22) and E. equina (7). Within the clade, it is closest to E. cancerae with high support (BPP 1.00 / BT 86%).…”

Caliciopsis moriondi, a new species for a fungus long confused with the pine pathogen C. pinea

“…Recently, a taxonomic key for the genus Caliciopsis has been presented (Garrido-Benavent and Perez-Ortega 2015). Caliciopsis nigra [now recombined to Hypsotheca nigra (Crous et al 2019)] is the causal agent of cankers on stems of the Mediterranean cypress, Cupressus sempervirens and common juniper, Juniperus communis (Intini 1980) and C. indica is a pathogen on Garcinia indica leaves (Pratibha et al 2010). Caliciopsis arceuthobii infects the flowers of several species of dwarf mistletoe in the genus Arceuthobium (Ramsfield et al 2009), Caliciopsis rhoina is associated with bark and trunk cankers on Toona sinensis (Rikkinen 2000), while Caliciopsis brevipes was reported on needles and bark of Araucaria araucana and C. cochlearia on needles and twigs of A. araucana, Fitzroya cupressoides, Austrocedrus chilensis, Pilgerodendron uviferum and Podocarpus nubigenus (Butin 1970).…”

More recently, Caliciopsis pleomorpha [now recombined in Hypsotheca as H. pleomorpha (Crous et al 2019)] has been reported as the causal agent of a canker disease on various Eucalyptus species in Australia (Pascoe et al 2018).…”
